Simple analytical dual-band spectral-spatial RF pulses for B(1) + and susceptibility artifact reduction in gradient echo MRI.

abstract：PURPOSE:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of renal failure; however, current clinical tests are insufficient for assessing this disease. DN is associated with changes in renal metabolites, so we evaluated the utility of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging to detect changes characteristic o...
