β¦ Synopsis
High-speed diffusion spectroscopic imaging based on an echo-planar technique is presented. A pair of diffusion gradi-
ents is applied prior to a rapidly oscillating magnetic field gradient which encodes both chemical shift and spatial information. By applying this technique to a phantom consisting of acetone and water, a diffusion spectroscopic image is obtained in about 15 min, about 64 times faster than the time required in the conventional method. The measured diffusion coefficients show good agreement with previously reported values. This kind of diffusion spectroscopic imaging is expected to provide a way to observe more specific metabolism.
