MR spectroscopy at high field is expected to benefit from improved signal-to-noise ratios and spectral resolution, due to increased chemical shift dispersion and reduced strong coupling effects. This study describes the development of a volumetric proton echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) sequence for 7T. It is demonstrated in vivo that the spin-echo 7T EPSI sequence can be used to record high quality spectroscopic imaging data with extended 3D coverage and low RF power deposition.
