A novel steady-state CEST sequence design, based on the underlying physical model of longitudinal magnetization development during CEST saturation and data acquisition is presented and validated in-silico, in vitro and in vivo. This design ensures consistent data acquisition in the pure CEST steady-state, leading to high MTRasym scores and image quality, both in vitro and in vivo, when compared to contemporary sequential and steady-state CEST sequences.
Purpose:
The aim of this study was to enhance CEST sequences by utilizing the pure CEST steady-state in order to deliver higher CEST effects and better sensitivity.
Methods:
A novel CEST saturation/readout scheme was designed, tested in numerical simulations and subsequently validated in vitro and in vivo.
Results:
The novel Multi-2D Spiral pure steady-state CEST sequence showed to deliver advantageous sensitivity and efficacy.
Conclusion:
Constraining image acquisition to the pure CEST steady-state showed promising results in first in vitro and in vivo experiments.
