Amide proton transfer (APT) is capable of detecting the
contrast to the protein level. High-resolution APT may
be required for assessing subtle change of pathology.
However, it is difficult to acquire APT data with
high-resolution due to long scan time required for
multiple acquisitions at different frequencies. As a
result, a recently developed reduced field-of-view (rFOV)
APT sequence was employed to this study and a small
brain tumor (size < 0.8 cm
3
) was used to
evaluate the clinical performance of rFOV APT.
