Representative CEST contrast maps and corresponding LGE images in porcine and the patient. (a,b) They hypointense regions (arrows) in the CEST contrast map match the LGE positive regions (arrows), suggesting scar has reduced metabolism compared to healthy myocardium tissue. (c) CEST signal is significantly reduced in the LGE positive region (9.54% ± 1.90%), compared to the LGE negative region (15.45% ± 2.21%), p < 0.00005.
