Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) requires the acquisition of a large number of images with differing gradient encoding direction, polarity, and displacement phase offsets. However, these images share a lot of information and can be represented through a reduced model order. In this work we demonstrate the ability to accelerate brain MRE acquisitions through sparse sampling and low-rank image reconstruction. Reducing the reconstructed model order from 48 to 10 resulted in virtually unchanged mechanical properties, and allowed for undersampling by factors up to 4x.
