The CEST signal around 2 ppm may have applications in cancer and muscle imaging and is likely related to an important energy molecule, creatine. In this work, we provide a specific metric to better quantify this signal based on modification of our previously developed CERT approach and an inverse analysis. Results show that the CEST signal at 2 ppm is hypointense in tumors which may be due to decreased creatine content.
