SPICE (SPectroscopic Imaging by exploiting
spatiospectral CorrElation) is emerging as a powerful
tool for high-resolution spectroscopic imaging of the
brain. As voxel size is getting smaller at higher
resolution, further improvement of signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) becomes essential, especially with sparse sampling
in (k,t)-space. This work presents a novel data
acquisition and processing method to enable short-TE
SPICE for high-resolution 1H-MRSI of the brain. In vivo
experimental results show that the proposed method can
achieve 2mm in-plane resolution in good SNR with a TE of
20ms in a 30min scan.
