Zusammenfassung:
The relatively low spatial resolution (ca. 250 mm3) of 1H-MRS hinders its application towards probing heterogeneous diseased tissue, e.g. tumor tissue. Therefore,
we present mmqCEST, a metabolic imaging technique based on the saturation transfer
from RF-tagged metabolites to the bulk water [1]. mmqCEST decodes a
frequency-dependent metabolite-weighted contrast in the Z-spectra into (multicolor)
quantitative metabolic maps with a high spatial resolution (ca. 3.4 mm3).
