Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI
During the 62nd session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings held on February 21st, 2023 via Zoom, Prof. Elena Vinogradov gave a talk on the topic "Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI: from basic principles to potential clinical applications". The recording serves as a tutorial.
Abstract:
Novel MRI methods are focusing on imaging events and structures at the molecular level. One of the methods gaining popularity is Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST). Here we will discuss basic physical principles of this approach, followed by potential applications and challenges associated with the translation to in-vivo and human imaging.
Prof. Elena Vinogradov is an associate Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
