We present a multislice short-TE 1H-MRSI method to achieve fast, ultrahigh-resolution metabolic imaging of rats on a 9.4 Tesla animal scanner. The proposed method uses a subspace-based hybrid data acquisition strategy and a low-rank-model-based image reconstruction scheme. In vivo experiments have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. We are able to produce high-SNR, spatially resolved metabolic profiles from the rat brain with 1x1x2mm³ nominal resolution in 16 minutes.
