Chemical exchange saturation transfer fingerprinting for exchange rate quantification

There is an increased interest to determine the exchange rate using CEST to provide pH information. However, current CEST quantification methods require lengthy scan times and do not address magnetization transfer effects. The purpose of this work was to apply the magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) concept to CEST to achieve more efficient and accurate exchange rate quantification.
