Point resolved spectroscopy sequence (PRESS) is the most commonly used sequence for in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy. While implemented by all major vendors, implementation details like timings, durations and shapes of the RF pulses differ among them. Here, we investigate the impact that inappropriate basis information can have on MRS metabolite quantification with linear combination modeling for quantification.
