          Current MRE method offers techniques for diagnosis for 
						large organs such as liver. Recent papers report that 
						MRE for kidney could be useful for assessment of renal 
						fibrosis. However, in the renal MRE, high spatial 
						resolution is needed because pathologic evaluation is 
						valid only on the renal cortex which is thin. This study 
						proposes high spatial resolution MRE using Single Shot � 
						Spin Echo Echo Planar Imaging with reduced FOV for 
						kidney.
