Spectroscopic imaging could provide insights into regional cardiac triglyceride variations, but is hampered by relatively long scan times. It is proposed to synergistically combine echo‐planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) with motion‐adapted gating, weighted acquisition and metabolite cycling to reduce scan times to less than 10 min while preserving spatial‐spectral quality. The method is compared to single‐voxel measurements and to metabolite‐cycled EPSI with conventional acquisition for assessing triglyceride‐to‐water (TG/W) ratios in the human heart.
