title: Radial scanning technique for volume selective 31P spectroscopy.
abstract: An interlaced radial scanning method that is ideally suited for 31P spectroscopy with short T2 components and a wide spectral range is presented. The proposed method, which uses an additional radial gradient and radial scans in the k-space, minimizes T2 decay during the selection time and also optimizes the volume selectivity in a given gradient field strength. Simulation and experimental results with a short selection time of 2 ms demonstrate that the proposed method is suitable for volume selective 31P spectroscopy.
