Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular to a fast chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging method and system. Background technique
[0002] Magnetic resonance chemical exchange saturation transfer (Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer, CEST) imaging is a new magnetic resonance contrast imaging mechanism. This imaging method is sensitive to the chemical exchange and chemical kinetics of dilute macromolecules. potential for tracking tumor cells, bacterial / viral infection, pH and temperature changes, etc. In recent years, CEST imaging has been increasingly used in the research of in vivo diseases such as tumors, acute stroke and kidney injury, and has become a new method of magnetic resonance molecular imaging.
[0003] Chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging is a new endogenous molecular imaging method, which uses a new contrast mechanism to selectively saturate exchangeable protons...
