The 5D EP-COSI data was acquired on a Siemens 3 T Skyra scanner (Siemens Healthineer, Erlangen, Germany) with a dedicated “receive” 24-channel phase-array breast coil and a body “transmit” coil (FOV: 160 × 160 × 120mm3, 1.5 mL voxel volume, TR/TE were 1500/35 ms), running on VE11C software platform. 64 t1 points sampled were used along F115 (link) with a spectral bandwidth (SW) of 1250 Hz and 512 complex t2 points, and a SW of 1190 Hz along F2. A three-pulse sequence27 (link) was employed before the global water suppression. A non-water suppressed scan with one t1 point was acquired for eddy current phase correction and coil combination28 (link). Two spatial and one spectral dimensions (ky,kz,t1) were non-uniformly sampled with an exponentially-weighted sampling density along t1 and gaussian sampling density along the ky-kz plane for an acceleration factor of 8. The total scan time was 28 min and 48 s.
