The quantitative analysis of pulsed-chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) using a full model-based method is computationally challenging, as it involves dealing with varying RF values in pulsed saturation. A power equivalent continuous approximation of B1 power was usually applied to accelerate the analysis. In line with recent consensus recommendations from the CEST community for pulsed-CEST at 3T, particularly recommending a high RF saturation power (B1 = 2.0 µT) for the clinical application in brain tumors, this technical note investigated the feasibility of using average power (AP) as the continuous approximation. The simulated results revealed excellent performance of the AP continuous approximation in low saturation power scenarios, but discrepancies were observed in the z-spectra for the high saturation power cases. Cautions should be taken, or it may lead to inaccurate fitted parameters, and the difference can be more than 10% in the high saturation power cases.
