In this work, a novel 1H MR spectroscopy sequence is proposed that provides the advantages of single voxel spectroscopy, such as high spectral bandwidth, a narrower point spread function, shorter measurement time and larger signal-to-noise-ratio, as compared to spectroscopic imaging while exciting more than one voxel. A multi-band adiabatic RF pulse was implemented into a SPECIAL sequence to simultaneously acquire the signal of two disjunct voxels at short echo times. The overlapping signal was decomposed using the SENSE algorithm. The new sequence was validated using a two-compartment phantom and its feasibility for in-vivo application is demonstrated at 7 T.
