A system and method for producing a report about a subject from data collected from the subject using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI] system. The method includes directing the MRI system to perform a pulse sequence to manipulate exchangeable magnetization in the subject and acquiring, with the MRI system, imaging data from the subject in response to the pulse sequence. The method also includes analyzing the effects of the frequencies of applied RF energy on the imaging data to identify inhomogeneous lines formed by a summation of multiple sublines centered at multiple different frequencies. The method further includes generating a report pertaining to inhomogeneous magnetization transfer occurring in the subject in response to the pulse sequence.
