A multitude of extracranial lipid suppression methods exist for proton MRSI acquisitions. Popular and emerging lipid suppression methods each have their inherent set of advantages and disadvantages related to the achievable level of lipid suppression, RF power deposition, insensitivity to B1+ field and lipid T1 heterogeneity, brain coverage, spatial selectivity, chemical shift displacement (CSD) errors, and reliability of spectroscopic data spanning the observed 0.9 – 4.7 ppm band. The utility of elliptical localization with pulsed second order fields (ECLIPSE) was previously demonstrated with > 100-fold in extracranial lipid suppression and low power requirements utilizing 3 kHz bandwidth AFP pulses. Like all gradient-based localization methods, ECLIPSE is sensitive to CSD errors, resulting in a modified metabolic profile in edge-of-ROI voxels. In this work, ECLIPSE is extended with 15 kHz bandwidth second-order-gradient-modulated RF pulses based on the gradient offset-independent adiabaticity (GOIA) algorithm to greatly reduce CSD, and improve spatial selectively. An adiabatic double spin-echo ECLIPSE inner volume selection (TE = 45 ms) MRSI method, and an ECLIPSE outer volume suppression (TE = 3.2 ms) FID-MRSI method were implemented. Both GOIA-ECLIPSE MRSI sequences provided artifact free metabolite spectra in vivo, with > 100-fold in lipid suppression and < 2.6 mm in-plane CSD and < 3.3 mm transition width for edge-of-ROI voxels, representing a ~ 5-fold improvement compared to the parent, non-gradient-modulated method. Despite the five-fold larger bandwidth, GOIA-ECLIPSE only required a 1.9-fold increase in RF power. The highly robust lipid suppression combined with low CSD and sharp ROI edge transitions make GOIA-ECLIPSE an attractive alternative to commonly employed lipid suppression methods. Furthermore, the low RF power deposition demonstrates that GOIA-ECLIPSE is very well suited for high-field (≥ 3 T) MRSI applications.
