Quantitative 1 H MRI and MRS of fatty acid composition.

abstract：PURPOSE:Single-scan two-dimensional MRI has been generally constrained to acquisitions in high quality magnets. This study introduces a methodology, cross-term spatiotemporal encoding (xSPEN), that delivers such images under much poorer external field conditions. METHODS:xSPEN departs from conventional k-space scannin...
