One of the powerful techniques for faster spectroscopic imaging acquisition is so called proton echo planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI). An alternative method, which we here term COKE (COherent K-t space EPSI), relies on interleaving “blipped” PE gradients in between readouts to produce coherent phase between the k-t space lines. COKE enables to double the SW in comparison to EPSI or to halve the acquisition duration. We designed a sequence that integrates a multi-band CAIPIRINHA with COKE acquisition for faster spectroscopic imaging. This was demonstrated in both phantoms and in-vivo.
