The non-water suppressed magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) sequence with concentric k-space trajectory was proposed to measure functional MRI and MRSI signals simultaneously. A right-hand finger-tapping task was performed at 3T MRI scanner to test the simultaneous hemodynamic and neurochemical measurements at human primary motor cortex. The results showed a significant overlap between T2* and metabolite (glutamate) changes.
