The variation of RF phases may effectively suppress water and lipid coherent signals, as similar effect has been previously demonstrated in GRE MR imaging sequences. We demonstrate a new suppression sequence capable of simultaneous water and lipid suppression with short inter-pulse delay and RF phase spoiling. Monte Carlo analysis showed that the proposed technique can significantly improve both accuracy and precision of metabolite quantification by suppressing lipid contamination.
