Abstract
The invention relates to a system for performing echo-planar spectroscopic imaging. The system comprises an acquisition unit for acquiring magnetic resonance data, wherein the acquisition unit is adapted to use a first encoding gradient in a readout direction and a second encoding gradient in a phase-encoding direction, wherein the first encoding gradient and the second encoding gradient are stepped. The system further comprises a reconstruction unit for reconstructing a magnetic resonance image based on the acquired magnetic resonance data.
