In this work we propose a novel, rapid propeller-CEST
encoding with background asymmetry subtraction for
ultrafast z-spectrum acquisition, wherein 1)
off-resonant saturation and corresponding CEST encoding
are performed along the angular (blade) direction over
the entire k-space, 2) motion- and field-corrected
z-spectrum data is synthesized using only a single
k-space data (synthesize low frequency CEST signals
while sharing high frequency signals), and 3)
propeller-CEST encoding induced background asymmetry is
subtracted from the z-spectrum. It is expected that the
proposed method becomes a highly efficient alternative
to conventional CEST for rapid z-spectrum acquisition
and accurate CEST asymmetry analysis.
