Diagram of the pulse sequence for magnetization saturation transfer experiments. The control (a) and saturated spectra (b) were acquired by saturation pulse train (BISTRO) “off” and “on”, respectively. The saturation pulse train with duration of tsat was used to saturate the γ-ATP resonance completely with the repetition time (TR) and the flip angle (FA). Obviously, magnetizations in the absence (i.e. during the time period of BISTRO saturation off and relaxation delay-d1) and presence of (i.e. during the time period of tsat) saturation pulse train will follow relaxation governed by relaxation times of T1mix and T1app, respectively.
