## Abstract Paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer (PARACEST) contrast agents are under development for biological target identification by magnetic resonance imaging. Image contrast associated with PARACEST agents can be generated by radiofrequency irradiation of the chemically shifted

Abstract
The aim of our study was to establish a simple in vivo method for water quantification in vasogenic edema, and provide data on imaging of mouse brain at 9.4 Tesla. Apparent T~1~ and spin density values determined by MRI were found to strongly correlate with the gravimetric water content of mouse brain undergoing cold injury. Using a two‐point calibration line between the spin density values for pure water and cortex of mouse brain, as well as the corresponding water contents in vivo, water could be quantified with satisfactory accuracy.
