Data-Driven Spectral Feature Extraction in 9.4T CEST MRI data of the human brain
{Model-based extraction of features, e.g. Lorentzian fitting of Z-spectra, in CEST MRI can be limited by the underlying model assumptions. Here we analyzed high spectral resolution Z-spectra acquired at 9.4T in five healthy subjects and one tumor patient using principal component analysis, a purely data-driven statistical procedure. Projection of Z-spectra onto principle components from a group of healthy subjects provides several relevant contrasts which reveal anatomical detail and correlate with Gadolinium uptake signatures in a brain tumor patient.}
