Two point Dixon-based chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI in renal transplant patients on 3 T.

Purpose: To assess the performance of two point (2-pt) Dixon-based chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging for fat suppression in renal transplant patients.

Methods: The 2-pt Dixon-based CEST MRI was validated in an egg-phantom and in fourteen renal transplant recipients (5 females and 9 males; age range: 23-78 years; mean age: 51 ± 16.8).
