Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) offers reliable biomarkers in clinic. Nevertheless, most qMRI methods are time-consuming and sensitive to motion. Single-shot multiple overlapping-echo detachment (MOLED) can deliver robust T2 mapping about 100 ms with high motion tolerance. However, its spatial resolution is relatively low due the limitations of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) echo-train length. At mean time, number echoes different evolution times collected usually limited, which...

Abstract Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is a versatile technique that enables noninvasive detections of endogenous metabolites present in low concentrations living tissue. However, CEST imaging suffers from an inherently signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) due to the decreased water signal caused by saturated spins. This limitation challenges accuracy and reliability quantification imaging. In this study, novel spatial–spectral denoising method, called BOOST (suBspace with nOnlocal...
