FIGURE 3.
Glutamate chemical exchange saturation transfer imaging was feasible in human brain using the 3.0 T MR system. (A,B) In a healthy volunteer, GluCEST magnetic resonance image (MRI) could clearly distinguish white matter and gray matter, similar to T2W imaging, and the gray matter signal intensity of GluCEST was higher than that of white matter. (C,D) In a patient with encephalitis, GluCEST imaging also clearly showed the left parietal cortex and subcortex lesion.
