CEST-MRI Methods for Detection of Diseases
20240066153 · 2024-02-29 ·

This invention relates to the detection of the diseases by using Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Previously, there was no way to use CEST MRI to early detect and map the agents bind to amyloid beta protein, tau protein, alpha-synuclein protein in neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammation in many diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases. The exogenous agents can be used to produce MRI contrast, such as agents contain exchangeable protons such as hydroxyl, amine, and amide protons, and thereby provide imaging and mapping for detection of the amyloid beta protein, tau protein, alpha-synuclein protein, and aggregation proteins in neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation in many diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases, and other inflammatory diseases.
