This work presents the application of single- and
multi-slice accelerated high resolution FID-based
spectroscopic imaging sequences with ultra-short TE in
patients with multiple sclerosis and brain tumors at 7T.
Using the parallel imaging method CAIPIRINHA for 2D and
3D acceleration, the measurement time for a single slice
6464 matrix could be reduced to 6:00 minutes, as well
as 22:35 minutes for a 64644 matrix, allowing the
inclusion into a standard imaging protocol. The acquired
metabolic maps correlated well with lesions found on
anatomical images, indicating a possible future use in
diagnostics for multiple sclerosis and brain tumors.
