Synopsis

This work describes an improved multi-voxel Chemical shift imaging (CSI) pulse sequence that uses the semi-LASER localization approach. Bruker CSI sequence containing PRESS localization block (CSI-PRESS) was modified by replacing the aforementioned PRESS block with a semi-LASER one resulting in a CSI-semi-LASER sequence. This work was developed on a 7T Bruker BioSpec 70/30 USR spectrometer running ParaVision 5.1 which does not contain neither built-in blocks for semi-LASER sequence nor adiabatic pulses. The sequence was tested in wt C57/BL6 mouse brain and compared with the stock CSI-PRESS sequence. The results show improved homogeneity and reduction in chemical shift displacement error (CSDE).
