What Does PRESS Stand For?
PRESS stands for Point Resolved Spectroscopy
PRESS, or Point Resolved Spectroscopy, is a magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique used to isolate and analyze specific metabolites within a defined spatial region of interest in tissues. This method enhances the ability to assess biochemical changes in various environments, making it particularly valuable in medical diagnostics and research, especially in the study of brain disorders, cancer, and other pathologies. By focusing on a single point, PRESS minimizes contamination from surrounding tissues, allowing for accurate and detailed spectral data to be obtained for targeted analysis.
