A convertible pneumatic actuator for brain and phantom elastography
Introduction Here we present a pneumatic actuator design developed for human brain magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). The MRE is part of the MR examination protocol, which provides input data for a neurosurgical oncology rehearsal and training system. Authentic information on mechanical properties of healthy and tumor tissue makes realistic emulation of haptic perception in the neurosurgica...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance elastography of the brain
The purpose of this study was to obtain normative data using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) (a) to obtain estimates of the shear modulus of human cerebral tissue in vivo and (b) to assess a possible age dependence of the shear modulus of cerebral tissue in healthy adult volunteers. MR elastography studies were performed on tissue-simulating gelatin phantoms and 25 healthy adult volunteer...
متن کاملBrain Viscoelasticity Measured by Magnetic Resonance Elastography
The knowledge of brain tissue mechanical properties is a critical issue in the head injury biomechanics research field. Due to experimental limitations, brain tissue has been characterized in vitro, whereas its actual in vivo behavior remains poorly known. We propose the use of Magnetic Resonance Elastography as a non invasive, non destructive tool for measuring the viscoelastic properties of b...
متن کاملDynamic Magnetic Resonance Elastography
There is strong precedent in clinical medicine for the concept that tissue viscoelastic properties, assessed by palpation, are markedly affected by a variety of disease processes. Student physicians learn that the presence of a hard mass in the thyroid, breast, or prostate is suspicious for malignancy. Indeed, many tumors of these structures are still first detected by touch. It is not uncommon...
متن کاملNon-invasive measurement of brain viscoelasticity using magnetic resonance elastography.
The purpose of this work was to develop magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the fast and reproducible measurement of spatially averaged viscoelastic constants of living human brain. The technique was based on a phase-sensitive echo planar imaging acquisition. Motion encoding was orthogonal to the image plane and synchronized to intracranial shear vibrations at driving frequencies of 25 an...
