Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) uses MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] combined with harmonic mechanical excitation to the tissue to determine how quickly a wave propagates through the organ. ... 3 main steps ...: send mechanical waves to the region of interest; use modified MRI imaging techniques to image the propagating mechanical waves throughout the organ (wave image); process the wave image into an elastogram (mapping of local elasticity). 3, record 1, English, - magnetic%20resonance%20elastography

[...] élastographie par résonance magnétique [...] La technique consiste à utiliser un appareil d’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) afin de mesurer les déplacements induits dans les tissus par un vibreur sollicitant le milieu de manière monochromatique (50 à 1000 Hz). [...] Bien que l’élastographie par résonance magnétique permette de reconstituer des cartes d’élasticité en trois dimensions, elle possède deux inconvénients majeurs : le temps d’acquisition et l’immobilité forcée des sujets [...] 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lastographie%20par%20r%C3%A9sonance%20magn%C3%A9tique
