Abstract
This paper presents a new imaging method for quasi-static magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Tagged magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of human lower leg was acquired with probe indentation using a MR-compatible actuation system. Indentation force was recorded for soft tissue elasticity reconstruction. Motion tracking and strain map of human lower leg are calculated using a harmonic phase (HARP)-based method. Simulated tagged MR images were constructed and analyzed to validate the HARP-based method. Our results show that the proposed imaging method can be used to generate accurate motion distribution and strain maps of the targeted soft tissue. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
