Correction of B1-inhomogeneities for relaxation-compensated CEST imaging at 7 T

NMR in Biomedicine

Abstract

Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging of endogenous agents in vivo is influenced by direct water proton saturation (spillover) and semi-solid macromolecular magnetization transfer (MT). Lorentzian fit isolation and application of the inverse metric yields the pure CEST contrast AREX, which is less affected by these processes, but still depends on the measurement technique, in particular on the irradiation amplitude B1 of the saturation pulses. This study focuses on two well-known CEST effects in the slow exchange regime originating from amide and aliphatic protons resonating at 3.5 ppm or -3.5 ppm from water protons, respectively. A B1-correction of CEST contrasts is crucial for the evaluation of data obtained in clinical studies at high field strengths with strong B1-inhomogeneities. Herein two approaches for B1-inhomogeneity correction, based on either CEST contrasts or Z-spectra, are investigated. Both rely on multiple acquisitions with different B1-values. One volunteer was examined with eight different B1-values to optimize the saturation field strength and the correction algorithm. Histogram evaluation allowed quantification of the quality of the B1-correction. Finally, the correction was applied to CEST im...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
