Ultra‐high field 1 H MR spectroscopy (MRS) is of great interest to help characterizing human spinal cord pathologies. However, very few studies have been reported so far in this small size structure at these fields due to challenging experimental difficulties caused by static and radiofrequency field heterogeneities, as well as physiological motion. In this work, in line with the recent developments proposed to strengthen spinal cord MRS feasibility at 7 T, a respiratory‐triggered acquisition approach was optimized to compensate for dynamic B 0 field heterogeneities and to provide robust cervical spinal cord MRS data.
