The FID-MRSI technique is a promising tool to be used
for spectroscopic imaging at ultra-high magnetic field
as it enables short TE and avoids in-plane chemical
shift displacement. However, due to the acquisition
delay, the first points of the acquired FID signals are
missing, giving rise to phase problems which may hamper
quantitative analysis. Our aim was to examine the
feasibility of high-resolution FID-MRSI of the healthy
human brain at the field strength of 9.4 T. The missing
FID points were reconstructed with an autoregressive
model so that the phase problems present in the acquired
spectra could be minimized.
