abstract = {To enable whole-brain quantitative CEST MRI at ultra-high
magnetic field strengths (B0 ≥ 7T) within short
acquisition times.Multiple interleaved mode saturation
(MIMOSA) was combined with fast online-customized (FOCUS)
parallel transmission (pTx) excitation pulses and B 1 +
correction to achieve homogenous whole-brain coverage.
Examinations of 13 volunteers were performed on a 7T MRI
system with 3 different types of pulse sequences: (1)
saturation in circular polarized (CP) mode and CP mode
readout, (2) MIMOSA and CP readout, and (3) MIMOSA and FOCUS
readout. For comparison, the inverse magnetic transfer ratio
metric for relayed nuclear Overhauser effect and amide
proton transfer were calculated. To investigate the number
of required acquisitions for a good B 1 + correction, 4
volunteers were measured with 6 different B1 amplitudes.
Finally, time point repeatability was investigated for 6
volunteers.MIMOSA FOCUS sequence using B 1 + correction,
with both single and multiple points, reduced inhomogeneity
of the CEST contrasts around the occipital lobe and
cerebellum. Results indicate that the most stable
inter-subject coefficient of variation was achieved using
the MIMOSA FOCUS sequence. Time point repeatability of
MIMOSA FOCUS with single-point B 1 + correction showed a
maximum coefficient of variation below $8\%$ for 3
measurements in a single volunteer.A combination of MIMOSA
FOCUS with a single-point B 1 + correction can be used to
achieve quantitative CEST measurements at ultra-high
magnetic field strengths. Compared to previous B 1 +
correction methods, acquisition time can be reduced as
additional scans required for B 1 + correction can be
omitted.},
