In this study we have implemented the compressed sensing algorithm with an efficient reconstruction technique to obtain optimal phase estimation for 3D MRSI using non-water suppressed spectra. Compressed sensing was shown to reduce acquisition time for water referencing spectra by 5x without negatively affecting the quality of phase estimation.
