MRSI of the prostate was achieved with a semi-LASER
sequence with GOIA-WURST(16,4) refocusing pulses and
spiral k-space sampling. The application of these low RF
power demanding adiabatic pulses reduces the specific
absorption rate so that an endorectal coil can be used
to receive signal. Together with a relative short echo
time of 90ms, a high SNR can be obtained. This can be
translated in a much lower acquisition time, which can
be realized because of the flexibility of spiral k-space
sampling. The new sequence facilitates routine
acquisition of metabolic data for clinical purposes.
