Toward quantitative CEST imaging of glutamate in the mouse brain using a multi‐pool exchange model calibrated by 1H‐MRS

Purpose To develop a CEST quantification model to map glutamate concentration in the mouse brain at 11.7 T, overcoming the limitations of conventional glutamate‐weighted CEST (gluCEST) contrast (magnetization transfer ratio with asymmetric analysis). Methods 1H‐MRS was used as a gold standard for gl...
