Let's talk about CEST imaging! APT-CEST, a groundbreaking technique for molecular imaging on 3T MRI Scanners, a non-contrast approach attractive for clinicians that is time-saving during an MRI acquisition.
Its current focus is on brain tumor characterization. By using spatial assessment of proteins and peptides in vivo, the technique can assist in the grading of gliomas and IDH mutation predictions.
