ECG-triggered FASTERMAP shimming is introduced and compared to conventional FASTERMAP shimming and shimming based on ECG-triggered B0 field mapping for single voxel proton spectroscopy at 3T. This investigation shows that the use of ECG-triggered FASTERMAP seems to be a robust and applicable method for clinical spinal cord spectroscopy. It is significantly faster than ECG-triggered B0 mapping and in contrast to the conventional FASTERMAP shimming artifacts due to pulsatile CSF flow introduced by cardiac motion may have less influence.
