A new scheme is proposed to denoise magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) data by exploiting two low-rank structures that exist in MRSI data: one due to partial separability and the other is due to linear predictability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective in denoising MRSI data while preserving spatial-spectral features in a wide range of SNR values.
