• Abstract: Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (CEST) MRI demonstrates its capability in significantly enhancing the detection of proteins and metabolites with low concentrations through exchangeable protons. The clinical application of CEST, however, is constrained by its low contrast and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the acquired data. Denoising, as one of the post-processing stages for CEST data, can effectively improve the accuracy of CEST quantification. In this work, by modeling spatial variant z-spectrums into low-dimensional subspace, we introduce Implicit Regression in Subspace (IRIS), which is an unsupervised denoising algorithm utilizing the excellent property of implicit neural representation for continuous mapping. Experiments conducted on both synthetic and in-vivo data demonstrate that our proposed method surpasses other CEST denoising methods regarding both qualitative and quantitative performance.
