We have developed the phase-incrementing MRSI (pi-MRSI) method to resolve overlapping biomarker images in the presence of a frequency encoding gradient during acquisition time. We report here the pi-SEE-HSelMQC experiments on a pre-clinical Bruker 9.4T spectrometer. The choline-selective and lactate CH-selective RF pulses in the pulse sequence were phase incremented by 10° in opposite signs in synchronization with the phase-encoding steps. In vivo two-dimensional pi-SEE-HSelMQC imaging of lactate and choline acquired from the PC3 human prostate cancer xenograft in a nude mouse showed opposite image offsets, shifted away from spurious signals. The pi-SEE-HSelMQC method completely suppresses lipid and water.
