Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) is an emerging MRI contrast mechanism that is capable of noninvasively imaging dilute CEST agents and local properties such as pH and temperature, augmenting the routine MRI methods.However, the routine CEST MRI includes a long RF saturation pulse followed by fast image readout, which is associated with

High-quality testbed services play a key role in the development and testing of new innovations for health care.To ensure that the development and testing process is valid and reliable, the testbed itself should fulfil a certain maturity level.The objectives of this study were to develop and pilot a new maturity assessment instrument for health car
