High-field MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is limited by localization artifacts (i.e., imperfect selection profiles, chemical shift errors, B1 inhomogeneities), motion-related artifacts (i.e., position changes, phase artifacts, B0 changes, lipid artifacts), and long measurement times (i.e., causing reduced spatial coverage and low spatial resolution).
