In skeletal muscle endogenous chemical exchange
saturation transfer (CEST) effects are influenced by
direct water saturation and magnetization transfer (MT)
effects. In this study we present a method which
corrects the CEST data from spillover and apply it to in
vivo data of human calf muscle. The results are compared
with the more common evaluation method - the asymmetry
analysis of the Z-spectrum.
