Abstract
âºHydroxyl protons on Myo-Inositol (MI) exhibit chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect. âºCEST effect of MI (MICEST) can be imaged at high field MRI scanner. âºThe magnitude of the MICEST contrast is highly dependent on the pH, MI concentration and saturation pulse parameters. âºIt is demonstrated that MICEST detection is feasible in the human brain at ultra high fields (7 T) without exceeding the allowed limits on radiofrequency specific absorption rate.
