Amine chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) echoplanar imaging (EPI) provides unique pH and amino acid MRI contrast, enabling sensitive detection of altered microenvironment properties in various diseases. However, CEST contrast is sensitive to static magnetic field (B 0 ) inhomogeneities. Here we propose 2 new B 0 correction algorithms for use in correcting pH-weighted amine CEST EPI based on k-means clustering and Lorentzian fitting of CEST data: the iterative downsampling estimation using Lorentzian fitting and the 2-stage Lorentzian estimation with 4D polynomial fitting. Higher quality images of asymmetric magnetization transfer ratio (MTR asym ) at 3.0 ppm could be obtained with the proposed algorithms than with the existing B 0 correction methods. In particular, the proposed methods are shown to improve the intertissue consistency, interpatient consistency, and tumor region signal-to-noise ratio of MTR asym at 3.0 ppm images, with nonexcessive computation time.
