In 1H-MRSI, data is typically acquired with spin echo sequences with relatively long acquisition delay, often motivated by the need for water, lipid, and baseline suppression. Here, we present a new method to obtain high-resolution 1H-MRSI data with an FID-based acquisition that has a very short acquisition delay, enabled by a new scheme for nuisance signal removal. The new acquisition method enables short repetition time and rapid acquisition of spectroscopic data. Experimental results demonstrate in vivo 3D 1H-MRSI of the brain with isotropic 3 mm resolution in 15 minutes.
