CEST imaging at 9.4 T using adjusted adiabatic spin‐lock pulses for on‐ and off‐resonant T1⍴‐dominated Z‐spectrum acquisition

Abstract

By adapting a pulse shape for low-power SL experiments, we were able to acquire robust on- and off-resonant adiabatic SL prepared images in vivo at 9.4 T. This development leads directly to SL Z-spectrum acquisition, beneficial for chemical-exchange-weighted MRI.
