The feasibility of in vivo MR-elastography (MRE) of
human eyes is demonstrated. A clinically applicable
actuator for inducing shear waves into the eye was
constructed which could be combined with a standard head
coil and a specialized eye coil. 3D MRE of 90 and 100 Hz
vibration frequency and 1mm^3 cubic voxel resolution was
used for reconstructing viscoelastic parameter maps of
magnitude and phase angle of the complex shear modulus.
We measured a magnitude modulus of 1084
366
Pa in the vitreous body which agrees to in-vivo values
obtained in the mouse.
