PurposeTo implement an accelerated five-dimensional (5D) echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging sequence combining 3 spatial and 2 spectral encoding dimensions and to apply the sequence in human brain.MethodsAn echo planar readout was used to acquire a single spatial and a single spectral dimension during one readout. Nonuniform sampling was applied to the two phase-encoded spatial directions and the indirect spectral dimension. Nonlinear reconstruction was used to minimize the ℓ1-norm or the total variation and included a spectral mask to enhance sparsity. Retrospective reconstructions at multiple undersamplings were performed in phantom. Ten healthy volunteers were scanned with 8× undersampling and compared to a fully sampled single slice scan.ResultsRetrospective reconstruction of fully sampled phantom data showed excellent quality at 4×, 8×, 12×, and 16× undersampling using either reconstruction method. Reconstruction of prospectively acquired in vivo scans with 8× undersampling showed excellent quality in the occipito-parietal lobes and good quality in the frontal lobe, consistent with the fully sampled single slice scan.ConclusionBy utilizing nonuniform sampling with nonlinear reconstruction, 2D J-resolved spectra can be acquired over a 3D spatial volume with a total scan time of 20 min, which is reasonable for in vivo studies.© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
