Comparison of Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer Imaging with Diffusion-weighted Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in a Rat Model of Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy.

CONCLUSION: CEST MTR maps did not correspond with the hyperintense areas on DWI at 0-2 and 24 hours after the onset of HIE. The change of multi offset CEST signal may be primarily related to the brain metabolites and pH alterations, such as that caused by lactate, after the onset of HIE.
