Tissue mechanical properties are significantly altered with the development of cancer.
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive technique capable of quantifying …

Time-harmonic shear wave elastography is capable of measuring viscoelastic parameters in
living tissue. However, finite tissue boundaries and waveguide effects give rise to wave …

It is now universally recognized that many prostate cancers are over‐diagnosed and over‐
treated. The European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer from 2009 …

Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of in vivo multifrequency magnetic resonance
elastography (MRE) of the prostate using externally placed drivers. Methods Three …

This article presents a new approach to magnetic resonance elastography of the prostate
using transperineal mechanical excitation. This approach is validated using a prostate …

In order to acquire consistent k‐space data in MR elastography, a fixed temporal
relationship between the MRI sequence and the underlying period of the wave needs to be …

The change in tissue stiffness caused by pathological changes in the tissue's structure could
be detected earlier, prior to the manifestation of their clinical features. Magnetic resonance …

Purpose Noninvasive stiffness imaging techniques (elastography) can image myocardial
tissue biomechanics in vivo. For cardiac MR elastography (MRE) techniques, the optimal …
