Abstract
⺠SLAM is a new method of localizing spectra to C anatomic compartments located by MRI. ⺠C phase-encoding gradients are selected from central k-space to maximize SNR. ⺠Compartment-average spectra are reconstructed from a reduced CSI equation set. ⺠Application to 24 31P heart MRS studies yields same quantitative results 4-times faster. ⺠Proactive application in 6 hearts yields 30-40% 31P MRS SNR gain in same time and volume.
