Evaluations of the Bloch fitting method for the analysis of <scp>acidoCEST MRI</scp>
Although fixing Bloch fitting parameters with experimental measurements saved computation time, fixing these parameters did not significantly improve the accuracy or precision of measuring pH in phantoms or within in vivo tumors, Therefore, measurements of T<sub>1</sub>, T<sub>2</sub>, B<sub>1</sub>, and/or B<sub>0</sub> are not needed for acidoCEST MRI.
