✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We describe a novel imaging technique that yields all of the observable properties of the binary spin‐bath model for magnetization transfer (MT) and demonstrate this method for in vivo studies of the human head. Based on a new model of the steady‐state behavior of the magnetization during a pulsed MT‐weighted imaging sequence, this approach yields parametric images of the fractional size of the restricted pool, the magnetization exchange rate, the T~2~ of the restricted pool, as well as the relaxation times in the free pool. Validated experimentally on agar gels and samples of uncooked beef, we demonstrate the method's application on two normal subjects and a patient with multiple sclerosis.

A new imaging method has been developed for quantitatively measuring magnetization transfer (MT). It uses a simple inversion recovery sequence, although one with very short (milliseconds) inversion times, and thus can be implemented on clinical imaging systems with little modification to existing pu

## Abstract Many enzymes catalyze fast exchange between a small pool and a large pool __in vivo__. For example, aspartate aminotransferase catalyzes fast exchanges between α‐ketoglutarate and glutamate and between oxaloacetate and aspartate, which can be detected using __in vivo__^13^C MRS while sa
