## Abstract Magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) can be generated in magnetic resonance images of water‐containing macromolecular structures. Results obtained with the pulsed off‐resonance saturation technique for achieving MTC are presented, allowing comparison of this technique with others. The

## Abstract Magnetization transfer (MT) imaging with a rapid gradientecho sequence and pulsed saturation provides an efficient means of acquiring high resolution three‐dimensional data __in vivo.__ This paper presents a derivation of the theoretical steady‐state signal equation for this sequence ba
## Abstract In this study, it is demonstrated that fat saturation (FS) preparation (prep) pulses generate incidental magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) in multislice Look‐Locker (LL) imaging. It is shown that frequency‐selective FS prep pulses can invoke MTC through the exchange between free and
## Abstract ## Purpose To assess whether the use of postcontrast fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging in combination with pre‐ and postcontrast magnetization transfer (MT) T1‐weighted imaging (T1WI) can increase diagnostic confidence in the evaluation of brain metastases. ## Materi
## Abstract Magnetization transfer (MT) contrast imaging reveals interactions between free water molecules and macromolecules in a variety of tissues. The introduction of ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequences to clinical whole‐body MR scanners expands the possibility of MT imaging to tissues with ex
## Abstract The effects of RF pulse parameters on magnetization transfer contrast (MTC) were investigated using a magnetization prepared segmented fast gradient echo sequence. MTC was found not to be uniquely determined by the specific absorption rate (SAR). RF pulse parameters (RF amplitude, numbe
