Intensity speckle MR elastography
Introduction: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) allows the measurement of the mechanical properties of living tissue by combining shear waves and motion sensitive MRI [1]. In classical MRE, shear wave images are evaluated using an appropriate wave inversion technique for calculating an estimate of the spatial distribution of the shear modulus within the region of interest [2]. Problem: Wave...
متن کاملShear wave group velocity inversion in MR elastography of human skeletal muscle.
In vivo quantification of the anisotropic shear elasticity of soft tissue is an appealing objective of elastography techniques because elastic anisotropy can potentially provide specific information about structural alterations in diseased tissue. Here a method is introduced and applied to MR elastography (MRE) of skeletal muscle. With this method one can elucidate anisotropy by means of two sh...
متن کاملPreliminary Comparison of Multi-scale and Multi-model Direct Inversion Algorithms for 3T MR Elastography
PURPOSE To elucidate whether any differences are present in the stiffness map obtained with a multiscale direct inversion algorithm (MSDI) vs that with a multimodel direct inversion algorithm (MMDI), both qualitatively and quantitatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MR elastography (MRE) data of 37 consecutive patients who underwent liver MR elastography between September and October 2014 were ...
متن کاملMR Elastography of Peritoneal Tumor
Background: MRE is a phase contrast MRI technique that evaluates the stiffness of tissues by directly visualizing and measuring propagated mechanical shear waves in tissues. MRE generates quantitative measurements and colorized spatial maps of shear wave displacement. The initial wave images are processed to generate an elastogram, which displays the quantitative values of the shear modulus of ...
متن کاملMR elastography of liver transplant patients using parallel imaging techniques
Background: Hepatitis C graft-infection after liver transplantation is seen in virtually all hepatitis-C-virus (HCV) positive patients and causes fibrosis. In magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) tissue mechanical properties are derived by analyzing externally introduced tissue vibrations using phase contrast based MRI [1]. MRE has already shown its strong potential in grading hepatic fibrosis...
