abstract = {Proton (1H)-MRSI via spatial-spectral encoding poses high
demands on gradient hardware at ultra-high fields and
high-resolutions. Rosette trajectories help alleviate these
problems, but at reduced SNR-efficiency because of their
k-space densities not matching any desired k-space filter.
We propose modified rosette trajectories, which more closely
match a Hamming filter, and thereby improve SNR performance
while still staying within gradient hardware limitations and
without prolonging scan time.Analytical and synthetic
simulations were validated with phantom and in vivo
measurements at 7 T. The rosette and modified rosette
trajectories were measured in five healthy volunteers in 6
min in a 2D slice in the brain. An elliptical phase-encoding
sequence was measured in one volunteer in 22 min, and a 3D
sequence was measured in one volunteer within 19 min. The
SNR per-unit-time, linewidth, Cramer-Rao lower bounds
(CRLBs), lipid contamination, and data quality of the
proposed modified rosette trajectory were compared to the
rosette trajectory.Using the modified rosette trajectories,
an improved k-space weighting function was achieved
resulting in an SNR per-unit-time increase of up to $12\%$
compared to rosette's and $23\%$ compared to elliptical
phase-encoding, dependent on the two additional trajectory
parameters. Similar results were achieved for the
theoretical SNR calculation based on k-space densities, as
well as when using the pseudo-replica method for simulated,
in vivo, and phantom data. The CRLBs of γ-aminobutyric acid
and N-acetylaspartylglutamate improved non-significantly for
the modified rosette trajectory, whereas the linewidths and
lipid contamination remained similar.By optimizing the shape
of the rosette trajectory, the modified rosette trajectories
achieved higher SNR per-unit-time and enhanced data quality
at the same scan time.},
