We recently proposed a new approach to high-resolution
MR spectroscopic imaging, called SPICE (SPectroscopic
Imaging by exploiting spatiospectral CorrElation), which
uses subspace modeling and hybrid acquisition of
(k,t)-space data. In this work, we present experimental
results from both rat and human brains to demonstrate
the unprecedented capability of SPICE for in vivo
high-resolution spectroscopic imaging. More
specifically, SPICE obtained spatiospectral
reconstructions with 0.5mm in-plane resolution from a
rat brain in 34 minutes and 2.5mm in-plane resolution
from a human brain in 12 minutes, both with minimal SNR
loss compared to low-resolution CSI acquisitions and
significant gain in SNR compared to high-resolution EPSI
acquisitions.
