ABSTRACT:
Susceptibility artifacts in slice selective volume magnetic resonance spectroscopy are reduced by applying phase encoding at a nominal resolution equal to or larger than the slice selection dimensions. In a preferred embodiment of the method, phase encoding is applied along the axes of the first and last RF slice selections. The volume of interest is contained completely within a single pixel defined by the 2D phase encoding. Unsuppressed water reference signal from the volume of interest is relatively unaffected by these artifacts and is collected without phase encoding.
