Article Abstract
Attempts have been made to reduce the total scan time in multi-dimensional J-resolved spectroscopic imaging (JRESI) using an echo-planar (EP) readout gradient, but acquisition duration remains a limitation for routine clinical use in the brain. We present here a significant acceleration achieved with a 4D EP-JRESI sequence that collects dual phase encoded lines within a single repetition time (TR) using two bipolar read-out trains. The performance and reliability of this novel 4D sequence, called Multi-Echo based Echo-Planar J-resolved Spectroscopic Imaging (ME-EP-JRESI), was evaluated in 10 healthy controls and a brain phantom using a 3 T MRI/MRS scanner. The prior knowledge fitting (ProFit) algorithm, with a new simulated basis set consisting of macromolecules and lipids apart from metabolites of interest, was used for quantitation. Both phantom and in-vivo data demonstrated that localization and spatial/spectral profiles of metabolites from the ME-EP-JRESI sequence were in good agreement with that of the EP-JRESI sequence. Both in the occipital and temporal lobe, metabolites with higher physiological concentrations including Glx (Glu+Gln), tNAA (NAA+NAAG), mI all had coefficient of variations between 9-25%. In summary, we have implemented, validated and tested the ME-EP-JRESI sequence, demonstrating that multi-echo acquisition can successfully reduce the total scan duration for EP-JRESI sequences.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging has potential for non-invasive metabolic imaging of the human brain. Here we report a method that overcomes several long-standing technical barriers associated with clinical magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, including long data acquisition times, limited spatial coverage and poor spatial resolution. Our method achieves ultrafast data acquisition using an efficient approach to encode spatial, spectral and J-coupling information of multiple molecules.

Purpose: To optimize possible combinations of echo times (TE) for multi-voxel TE-averaged Point RESolved Spectroscopy (PRESS) while reducing the total number of TEs required to separate glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) within a clinically feasible scan time.
Methods: General Approach to Magnetic resonance Mathematical Analysis (GAMMA) was used to implement 2D J-resolved PRESS technique, and the spectra of 14 individual brain metabolites were simulated at 64 different TEs. Monte Carlo simulations were used for selecting the best TE combinations to separate Glu and Gln using TE-averaged PRESS with a total number of two, three, four and five TEs.

Objectives: This study aimed at developing dictionary learning (DL) based compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction for randomly undersampled five-dimensional (5D) MR Spectroscopic Imaging (3D spatial + 2D spectral) data acquired in prostate cancer patients and healthy controls, and test its feasibility at 8x and 12x undersampling factors.
Materials And Methods: Prospectively undersampled 5D echo-planar J-resolved spectroscopic imaging (EP-JRESI) data were acquired in nine prostate cancer (PCa) patients and three healthy males. The 5D EP-JRESI data were reconstructed using DL and compared with gradient sparsity-based Total Variation (TV) and Perona-Malik (PM) methods.

The utility of low sample volume in vitro diagnostic (IVDr) proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) spectroscopic experiments on blood plasma for information recovery from limited availability or high value samples was exemplified using plasma from patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and normal controls. H NMR spectra were obtained using solvent-suppressed 1D, spin-echo (CPMG), and 2-dimensional J-resolved (JRES) spectroscopy using both 3 mm outer diameter SampleJet NMR tubes (100 μL plasma) and 5 mm SampleJet NMR tubes (300 μL plasma) under in vitro diagnostic conditions. We noted near identical diagnostic models in both standard and low volume IVDr lipoprotein analysis (measuring 112 lipoprotein parameters) with a comparison of the two tubes yielding values ranging between 0.

To investigate the systemic metabolic effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, we analyzed H NMR spectroscopic data on human blood plasma and co-modeled with multiple plasma cytokines and chemokines (measured in parallel). Thus, 600 MHz H solvent-suppressed single-pulse, spin-echo, and 2D J-resolved spectra were collected on plasma recorded from SARS-CoV-2 rRT-PCR-positive patients ( = 15, with multiple sampling timepoints) and age-matched healthy controls ( = 34, confirmed rRT-PCR negative), together with patients with COVID-19/influenza-like clinical symptoms who tested SARS-CoV-2 negative ( = 35). We compared the single-pulse NMR spectral data with diagnostic research (IVDr) information on quantitative lipoprotein profiles (112 parameters) extracted from the raw 1D NMR data.
