Frequency-dependent viscoelastic parameters of mouse brain tissue estimated by MRE
Viscoelastic properties of mouse brain tissue were estimated non-invasively, in vivo, using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) at 4.7 T to measure the dispersive properties of induced shear waves. Key features of this study include (i) the development and application of a novel MR-compatible actuation system which transmits vibratory motion into the brain through an incisor bar, and (ii) the...
متن کاملFrequency Dependence of Mouse Brain Tissue Stiffness Measured in vivo with MR Elastography
Introduction Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique for quantitative measurement of the mechanical properties of biologic tissue in vivo [1]. The clinical interest in MRE has largely been driven by the direct relationship between tissue health and stiffness. As a result, MRE may provide significant clinical value for the non-invasive diagnosis of pathology and...
متن کاملTabletop magnetic resonance elastography for the measurement of viscoelastic parameters of small tissue samples.
We demonstrate the feasibility of low-cost tabletop MR elastography (MRE) for quantifying the complex shear modulus G(∗) of small soft biological tissue samples as provided by pathologists. The MRE system was developed based on a tabletop MRI scanner equipped with a 0.5 T permanent magnet and a tissue sample holder mounted to a loudspeaker. A spin echo sequence was enhanced with motion-encoding...
متن کاملData Reduction Analysis for Brain MR Elastography
Introduction Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a method for quantitatively assessing the stiffness of tissue non-invasively by using phase contrast MRI to visualize and measure the propagation speed with which shear waves travel through the tissue of interest [1]. There is an increasing interest in applying the technology as a way to characterize the mechanical properties of the brain [2...
متن کاملMR Elastography of the Brain in a Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
Introduction Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique that uses MRI to noninvasively measure tissues stiffness [1]. Shear waves are introduced via a mechanical actuator, imaged using a phase-contrast MRI sequence, and then mathematically inverted to calculate tissue stiffness. Recently MRE has been investigated in the brain for its potential to detect diffuse diseases that are curre...
