title: One-dimensional spectroscopic imaging with stimulated echoes: phantom and human leg studies.
abstract: One-dimensional phase encoding was incorporated in the stimulated echo single voxel localization sequence for in vivo proton spectroscopic studies. Phantom studies were performed to assess the effect of the number of phase encoding steps on the spectral contamination from the adjacent volumes. Both water suppressed and unsuppressed spectra were obtained in reasonable acquisition times from various regions in the human leg with a spatial resolution of around 1.1 cm3.
