Effectiveness of fat suppression using a water-selective binomial-pulse excitation in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) magnetic resonance imaging.

CONCLUSION: In WE-4-based CEST magnetic resonance imaging, B0 inhomogeneity is the limiting factor for fat suppression. The CEST sites at 1.0, 2.0 ppm and 3.5 ppm unavoidably suffer from lipid artifacts. However, when the ∆B0 is confined to a limited range, these CEST sites are only affected by small lipid artifacts, which may be ignorable in some cases of clinical applications.
