Project Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Elastography is a newly developing medical imaging modality that uses motion data obtained from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods to generate images of tissue stiffness. These images are relevant to the detection and diagnosis of many serious diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis. The high resolution, full volume imaging data captured by the MR makes this Elastography method particularly suitable for diagnostic imaging based on advanced material properties such as damping and anisotropy.
