A Modular Hybrid Framework for CEST MRI Development and Clinical Translation Using pTx-Pulseq Preparation With Open- and Closed-Source Readouts and ONNX Mapping.
PURPOSE Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI offers unique metabolic insights for imaging of cancer, stroke, or neurodegeneration. However, the rapid expansion of CEST preparation schemes and evaluation techniques creates a bottleneck; novel methods often remain complex prototypes requiring offline processi...
