In brain MRSI, spatial resolution is limited by a
relatively low SNR because localization methods
generally require a long TR. With recent developments in
more efficient localization methods the duration of the
WS sequence has become a limiting factor in MRSI. In
this work, an ultra short WS method, by using frequency
selective spokes pulses to correct for
B1-inhomogenieties, is presented. Sufficient water
suppression over a whole slice was obtained and very
high resolution 2D MRSI spectra were acquired.
