Abstract Magnetization Transfer Contrast (MTC) and Chemical Exchange Saturation
Transfer (CEST) experiments measure the transfer of magnetization from molecular protons …

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has
been developed and employed in multiple clinical imaging research centers worldwide …

Among the strategies used for enhancement of tumour retention of imaging agents or
anticancer drugs is the rational design of probes that undergo a tumour-specific enzymatic …

Purpose To develop a fast magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) method for quantitative
chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging. Methods We implemented a CEST …

Gadolinium (Gd)-based compounds and materials are the most commonly used magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents in the clinic; however, safety concerns associated …

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is a relatively new contrast mechanism for
MRI. CEST MRI exploits a specific MR frequency (chemical shift) of a molecule while …

Malignant glioma remains incurable largely due to the aggressive and infiltrative nature, as
well as the existence of blood–brain-barrier (BBB). Precise diagnosis of glioma, which aims …

Citicoline (CDPC) is a natural supplement with well-documented neuroprotective effects in
the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, we sought to exploit …

Purpose Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) NMR or MRI experiments allow
detection of low concentrated molecules with enhanced sensitivity via their proton exchange …

The ability of CEST MRI to detect the presence of millimolar concentrations of non‐metallic
contrast agents has made it possible to study, non‐invasively, important biological …
