PURPOSE: This study investigates amide proton transfer (APT) and nuclear
overhauser enhancement (NOE) in phantoms and 9L tumors in rat brains at 9.4
Tesla, using a recently developed method that can isolate different contributions
to exchange. METHODS: Chemical exchange rotation transfer (CERT) was used to
quantify APT and NOEs through subtraction of signals acquired at two irradiation
flip angles, but with the same average irradiation power. RESULTS: CERT separates
and quantifies specific APT and NOE signals without contamination from other
proton pools, and thus overcomes a key shortcoming of conventional CEST asymmetry
approaches. CERT thus has increased specificity, though at the cost of decreased
signal strength. In vivo experiments show that the APT effect acquired with CERT
in 9L rat tumors (3.1%) is relatively greater than that in normal tissue (2.5%),
which is consistent with previous CEST asymmetry analysis. The NOE effect
centered at -1.6 ppm shows substantial image contrast within the tumor and
between the tumor and the surrounding tissue, while the NOE effect centered at
-3.5 ppm shows little contrast. CONCLUSION: CERT provides an image contrast that
is more specific to chemical exchange than conventional APT by means of
asymmetric CEST Z-spectra analysis.
