Recently, a relaxation-enhanced (RE)
selective-excitation MRS approach to acquire
in
vivo
localized
spectra with flat baselines and very good
signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) has been proposed. As RE
MRS targets
a
priori
known
resonances, MRSI information may be acquired in a
faster, more efficient manner. Hereby we present such
Relaxation-Enhanced Chemical-shift-Encoded
Spectroscopically-Separated (RECESS) MRI method,
targeting images of various metabolite by collecting a
series of conventional imaging data echoes where the
chemical shifts of the different resonances are encoded
by coherent phase modulations, and disentangled by
Fourier-based inversions. The RECESS method thus
accelerates the acquisition of quality MRSI data.
