Tab. 1:

Pre-exercise CEST asymmetry values in four major muscle groups, namely, LG, MG, soleus, PL, of a single volunteer, for varying number (1, 2, 4) of shots. Reported values correspond to CrCEST value averaged over ROI (CrCEST_ROI) consisting of respective muscle groups, selected on the middle (4^th out of 8) slice of the imaging volume. Mean and standard deviation correspond to CrCEST_ROI calculated over three repeated acquisitions.
