In this work the parallel imaging methods slice-Caipirinha
and 2D-Caipirinha were combined to (2+1)D-Caipirinha in
order to simulate an acceleration of two-slice Hadamard
encoded MRSI data of the brain at 7T. The proposed
method was compared to standard in-plane acceleration
and a reconstruction using 2D-GRAPPA. (2+1)D-Caipirinha
was shown to be superior over the standard 2D-GRAPPA
acceleration. The original 60 minutes scan could have
been reduced with an acceleration factor of 8.7 to
clinically relevant scan times of 7 minutes, while still
providing enough SNR to quantify tNAA, tCho and tCr.
