CEST MRI uniquely probes the physical exchange of protons between water and specific molecules within tissues, providing a window into physiological phenomena that remain invisible to standard MRI. However, given the very low concentration (millimolar range) of CEST compounds, the effects measured are generally only on the order of a few percent of the water signal. Consequently, a few critical challenges, including correction of motion artifacts and magnetic field (B0 and B1+) inhomogeneities, have to be addressed in order to unlock the full potential of CEST MRI. Motion, whether from patient movement or inherent physiological pulsations, can distort the CEST signal, hindering accurate quantification. B0 and B1+ inhomogeneities, arising from scanner hardware imperfections, further complicate data interpretation by introducing spurious variations in the signal intensity. Without proper correction of these confounding factors, reliable analysis and clinical translation of CEST MRI remain challenging. Motion correction methods aim to compensate for patient movement during (prospective) or after (retrospective) image acquisition, reducing artifacts and preserving data quality. Similarly, B0 and B1+ inhomogeneity correction techniques enhance the spatial and spectral accuracy of CEST MRI. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current landscape of motion and magnetic field inhomogeneity correction methods in CEST MRI. The methods discussed apply to saturation transfer (ST) MRI in general, including semisolid magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) and relayed nuclear Overhauser enhancement (rNOE) studies. date: 2024-11-12 date_type: published publisher: Wiley official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nbm.5294 full_text_type: other language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2335421 doi: 10.1002/nbm.5294 lyricists_name: Kim, Mina lyricists_id: MKIMA96 actors_name: Kim, Mina actors_id: MKIMA96 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: NMR in Biomedicine article_number: e5294 issn: 0952-3480 citation: Simegn, Gizeaddis Lamesgin; Sun, Phillip Zhe; Zhou, Jinyuan; Kim, Mina; Reddy, Ravinder; Zu, Zhongliang; Zaiss, Moritz; ...
