Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) imaging Expert Series
Introduction
We welcome you to an exclusive webinar series with experts from around the world. Kannie Chan, Steffen Goerke, Mike McMahon, and Daisy Villano met virtually to discuss the facets of CEST that they each will present, so that their talks perfectly complement each other.

Image molecules using CEST MRI: basics and application
Prof. Kannie Chan
Imaging molecules in vivo has a pivotal role in prognosis, diagnosis and monitoring treatments. Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI reveals many endogenous and exogenous molecules in their natural forms and hence provides ample opportunities to address both preclinical and clinical needs, such as in cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Deeper insights into selective CEST-MRI and applications in cancer imaging
Dr. Steffen Goerke
CEST-MRI is an emerging molecular imaging technique enabling the detection of biomolecules in vivo with a resolution comparable to conventional MRI. A deeper understanding of the underlying CEST phenomenon allows extracting particular signal components of interest, and thus, the improvement of specificity.

Characteristics of organic compounds producing strong CEST contrast and how to use these for cancer and kidney imaging
Dr. Michael T. McMahon
CEST MRI is a powerful method to visualize the presence of organic molecules with amplification of their signal through the exchange transfer of signal loss to water. Since the inception of this field, a number of molecules have been identified with appropriate labile protons for producing strong MRI contrast.

9th International Workshop on Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST 2022)
August 7th - 10th, 2022
Emory Conference Center Hotel, 1615 Clifton Rd, Atlanta, GA 30329
Join us and others at the international Workshop on Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer in Atlanta to continue building knowledge on CEST and to provide a platform for scientific exchange. We are proud to support the development of CEST and the translation into clinical practice.
