Quantification of hydroxyl exchange of D‐Glucose at physiological conditions for optimization of glucoCEST MRI at 3, 7 and 9.4 Tesla

Aims To determine individual glucose hydroxyl exchange rates at physiological conditions and use this information for numerical optimization of glucoCEST/CESL preparation. To give guidelines for in vivo glucoCEST/CESL measurement parameters at clinical and ultra‐high field strengths. Methods Five glucose solution samples at different pH values were measured at 14.1 T at various B 1 power levels. Multi‐B 1 ‐Z‐spectra Bloch‐McConnell fits at...
