Modern magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) pulse sequences which employ localization through adiabatic pulses suffer from long minimum echo times ($$$\ge$$$ 19 ms). Here we developed a novel MRS pulse sequence which allows for an echo time of 8 ms with adiabatic localization in two of the three spatial dimensions, at the cost of two-shot volume localization. The sequence is highly robust to B1 inhomogeneity and does not have any anomalous J-modulation since no slice-selective refocusing pulses are used. High spectral quality was obtained in phantom experiments, although strong lipid contamination was observed, consistent with previously reported two-shot localization methods.
