Static pTx ( B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ shimming) was applied to locally maximize the B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ magnitude per input power within a given region of interest (ROI) of approximately 30 mm diameter (ROIshim). Relaxation-compensated inverse magnetization transfer ratio (MTRRex) values were quantified for amide protons, guanidino protons, and relayed nuclear Overhauser effect signals based on five-pool Lorentzian fit analysis. MTRRex values were corrected for B1 inhomogeneities using an absolute, accurate MR fingerprinting-based B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ mapping technique.Within the ROIshim, reliable MTRRex values could be calculated for an average of 85% of voxels. The mean MTRRex values and corresponding coefficient of variations across the group are: 0.113 ± 0.009, 8.8% for amide; 0.167 ± 0.010, 6.3% for nuclear Overhauser effect; and 0.079 ± 0.010, 12.9% for guanidino. MTRRex values exhibit low variation between subjects, as reflected by low coefficient of variations.In this study, we have demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of acquiring and quantifying relaxation-compensated CEST contrasts in the human liver at ultrahigh field. The application of static pTx effectively eliminates B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ dropouts and allows for accurate CEST contrast quantification within the selected ROI. In addition, the proposed B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ mapping technique shows efficacy for enhanced MTRRex B1 corrections in the abdomen. 000301567 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-315$$a315 - Bildgebung und Radioonkologie (POF4-315)$$cPOF4-315$$fPOF IV$$x0 000301567 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: inrepo02.dkfz.de 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$a7 T 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$aB1 correction 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$aB1+ B 1 + $$ {B}_1^{+} $$ shimming 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$abody CEST 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$aliver CEST 000301567 650_7 $$2Other$$apTx 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)877c77517aa07d7b3affbb072649e965$$aMenshchikov, Petr$$b1$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)d40714cfcbbc151fe464dd2bd55952b8$$aGrimm, Johannes$$b2$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$00009-0001-1956-3757$$aLutz, Max$$b3 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)7985b432d853ab8929db0f1cb121667f$$aOrzada, Stephan$$b4$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)3c51ec0b06b6c9ccece5c7b5306de106$$aBoyd, Philip$$b5$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)29b2f01310f7022916255ddba2750f9b$$aBachert, Peter$$b6$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)022611a2317e4de40fd912e0a72293a8$$aLadd, Mark$$b7$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)577a5c61f44b8023e229610afbc7cd4e$$aKorzowski, Andreas$$b8$$udkfz 000301567 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)19e2d877276b0e5eec11cdfc1789a55e$$aSchmitter, Sebastian$$b9$$eLast author$$udkfz 000301567 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1493786-4$$a10.1002/mrm.30557$$gp. mrm.30557$$n4$$p1604-1615$$tMagnetic resonance in medicine$$v94$$x1522-2594$$y2025 000301567 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:301567$$pVDB 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)d913cff5d92e46c7893927e308e71587$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b0$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)877c77517aa07d7b3affbb072649e965$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b1$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)d40714cfcbbc151fe464dd2bd55952b8$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b2$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)7985b432d853ab8929db0f1cb121667f$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b4$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)3c51ec0b06b6c9ccece5c7b5306de106$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b5$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)29b2f01310f7022916255ddba2750f9b$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b6$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)022611a2317e4de40fd912e0a72293a8$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b7$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)577a5c61f44b8023e229610afbc7cd4e$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b8$$kDKFZ 000301567 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)19e2d877276b0e5eec11cdfc1789a55e$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b9$$kDKFZ 000301567 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-315$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vBildgebung und Radioonkologie$$x0 000301567 9141_ $$y2025 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz$$d2025-01-02$$wger 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3001$$2StatID$$aDEAL Wiley$$d2025-01-02$$wger 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2025-01-02 000301567 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2025-01-02 000301567 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)E020-20160331$$kE020$$lE020 Med.
