In vitro and in vivo comparison of MRI chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) properties between native glucose and 3‐O‐Methyl‐D‐glucose in a murine tumor model

D‐Glucose and 3‐O‐Methyl‐D‐glucose (3OMG) have been shown to provide contrast in magnetic resonance imaging‐chemical exchange saturation transfer (MRI‐CEST) images. However, a systematic comparison between these two molecules has yet to be performed. The current study deals with the assessment of the effect of pH, saturation power level (B 1 ) and magnetic field strength (B 0 ) on the MRI‐CEST contrast with the aim of comparing the in vivo CEST...
