We present a post-processing method for the removal of water and lipid signals from 3D 1 H-MRSI data that has limited and sparse coverage of (k, t) -space. Our method extends a recently proposed Union-of-Subspace method to enable the use of support constraints derived from high-resolution 3D anatomical scans. The method is capable of handling 3D data sets with only a limited number of spatial encodes in the slice direction. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively remove water and lipid signals from 3D 1 H-MRSI data of the brain. The method is particularly useful for accelerated 1 H-MRSI with sparse sampling.
