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.
