PEEP—A rapid chemical-shift imaging method

Abstract

The phase‐encoded echo‐planar (PEEP) technique, a variant of echo‐planar imaging, is used to achieve simultaneous high‐speed spatial and chemical‐shift data acquisition. This technique is the 2DFT equivalent of the projection reconstruction echo‐planar method for chemical‐shift imaging. Examples of images and spectra obtained using the PEEP method are presented. © 1989 Academic Press, Inc.
