We propose a novel fast
fully sampled 2D J-resolved MRSI, termed as J-resolved xSPEN spectroscopy,
combining echo planar imaging acquisition and turbo spin echo train evolution.
Figure 2 (a)The representative 2D J-resolved spectrum
from the spatial location marked by the red dot. Please noting the tilting
feature of the spectrum due to the mixing chemical shift and J splittings along
the spectral dimension. (b) 2D J-resolved spectrum with J-decoupled chemical
shift dimension.

xSPEN MRSI sequence performing multiple scans with increasing time (t1)
evolution to achieve the chemical shift dimension, while the J couplings are
obtained by repeating the distortion-free echo-planar imaging-based acquisition
of xSPEN in a turbo spin echo train evolution way. (b) 2D J-resolved xSPEN MRSI sequence with pure
chemical shift dimension.
