A three-dimensional (3D), density-weighted, concentric rings trajectory (CRT) magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) sequence is implemented for cardiac phosphorus ( 31 P)-MRS at 7 T. The point-by-point k-space sampling of traditional phase-encoded chemical shift imaging (CSI) sequences severely restricts the minimum scan time at higher spatial resolutions. Our proposed CRT sequence implements a stack of concentric rings, with a variable number of rings and planes spaced to optimise the density of k-space weighting. This creates flexibility in acquisition time, allowing acquisitions substantially faster than traditional phase-encoded CSI sequences, while retaining high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We first characterise the SNR and point-spread function of the CRT sequence in phantoms. We then evaluate it at five different acquisition times and spatial resolutions in the hearts of five healthy participants at 7 T. These different sequence durations are compared with existing published 3D acquisition-weighted CSI sequences with matched acquisition times and spatial resolutions. To minimise the effect of noise on the short acquisitions, low-rank denoising of the spatiotemporal data was also performed after acquisition. The proposed sequence measures 3D localised phosphocreatine to adenosine triphosphate (PCr/ATP) ratios of the human myocardium in 2.5 min, 2.6 times faster than the minimum scan time for acquisition-weighted phase-encoded CSI. Alternatively, in the same scan time, a 1.7-times smaller nominal voxel volume can be achieved.
