We propose a novel fast fully sampled 2D J-resolved MRSI, termed as J-resolved xSPEN spectroscopy, combining echo planar imaging acquisition and turbo spin echo train evolution.
Figure 2 (a)The representative 2D J-resolved spectrum from the spatial location marked by the red dot. Please noting the tilting feature of the spectrum due to the mixing chemical shift and J splittings along the spectral dimension. (b) 2D J-resolved spectrum with J-decoupled chemical shift dimension.
Figure 1 (a) 2D J-resolved xSPEN MRSI sequence performing multiple scans with increasing time (t1) evolution to achieve the chemical shift dimension, while the J couplings are obtained by repeating the distortion-free echo-planar imaging-based acquisition of xSPEN in a turbo spin echo train evolution way.
