A novel method of echo-planar spectroscopic imaging is introduced, in which readout segmentation is used to reduce the echo spacing and provide a substantial increase in spectral bandwidth. Results are presented, showing how the technique avoids the aliasing problems that affect conventional applications of high-resolution, spectroscopic imaging at 3T and serves as a robust method for providing spectrally-selective fat and water images. The method is also a promising option for high-bandwidth, spectroscopic imaging studies of metabolites at high field strengths.
