We propose a fast 3D steady-state CEST (ss-CEST) method at 3T using MR Multitasking. By exploiting the correlation among images throughout the spatial, time, and offset frequency dimensions, the low-rank tensor framework shows a possibility for at least 2x acceleration of ss- CEST. High-quality quantitative maps can be generated from ss-CEST images. The Z-spectrum acquisition with whole-brain coverage can be done within 5.5min.
