In vivo multivoxel Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and multislice Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (MRSI) are extremely susceptible to poor homogeneity of the static magnetic field. Existing room-temperature (RT) shim technology can adequately optimize the B(0) homogeneity of local volumes, such as single voxels. However, the widespread global homogeneity required for in vivo spectral acquisitions from multiple volumes in the human brain cannot be attained with a single RT shim setting. Dynamic shim updating (DSU) allows for use of local RT shim B(0) homogeneity compensation capabilities in a global fashion. Here, by updating first- and second-order shims on a voxel- and slice-specific basis using a pre-emphasized DSU system, we present multivoxel MRS and multislice MRSI of the human brain. These results demonstrate that DSU can increase multivoxel MRS acquisition capabilities and significantly improve the quality of multislice MRSI data.
