The study results suggest strong agreement between PRESS and sLASER in identifying relationships between brain metabolites and age in CSO and PCC data acquired at 3T. sLASER is technically desirable due to the reduced chemical shift displacement artifact; however, PRESS performed similarly in 'good' brain regions at clinical field strength.
