Abstract
A medical analysis system () for processing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), data () from a target volume () in a subject () includes a memory () for storing machine executable instructions; and a processor () for controlling the system (). Execution of the machine executable instructions causes the processor () to: determine from the MRI data () chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) voxel values corresponding to a transfer of saturation between a predefined pool of protons and water protons, the pool of protons having a predefined chemical shift; and weight the CEST values in order to distinguish CEST values of fluid-rich tissues () from CEST values of solid tissues () in the target volume (), wherein the fluid-rich tissue comprises an amount of fluid higher than a predefined minimum amount of fluid.
