This work presents a robust framework for fast high-resolution ¹H MRSI at 7 Tesla using semi-localized by adiabatic selective refocusing (semi-LASER) and high-bandwidth symmetric echo planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI). Inconsistencies in the symmetric EPSI trajectory are corrected using a single shot water reference scan, effectively removing spectral ghosting. With the proposed methodology, high-resolution metabolite ratio maps that show correlation with anatomical structures were obtained under 5-minutes.
