TEA-PRESS

Consider this information when modifying TEA-PRESS scan parameters. For specific scan parameter values, select a protocol from your GE or Site library.

TEA PRESS is a TE-Averaged variant of the PRESS CSI pulse sequence. It collects spectra across a range of TE values and averages the results together to reduce the appearance of signals whose intensity varies as a function of TE. This allows signals whose intensity does not vary with TE to be accentuated in comparison. This is the underlying pulse sequence behind the BREASE application.

• Scan selections: MRS Mode, Spectroscopy family, TEA-PRESS pulse.
• Although TEA-PRESS, in comparison to BREASE, allows more flexibility in spectroscopic acquisition parameters, BREASE is more acceptable for breast imaging.
