SampLe Interval Modulation Magnetic Resonance Elastography (SLIM-MRE) enables the simultaneous acquisition of 3D displacement, however this normally requires an increase in the echo time due to the mutual shifting of the motion encoding gradients (MEG). This study proposes a method of circular shifting of the start phase of the MEG waveforms allowing for rapid multidirectional motion encoding without increase in echo time. The new implementation of SLIM-MRE was applied to in vivo mouse brain and the results agree well to the ones obtained using conventional MRE encoding schemes.
