CEST evaluation suffers from concomitant effects as direct water saturation (spillover) and MT. We present a new spillover correction for pulsed CEST which yields the exchange dependent relaxation in the rotating frame Rex. We proof our method at creatine model solutions and show additionally, that also quantification is possible and therefore calculation of pH and creatine concentration maps.
