Here we introduce a recipe for the simultaneous acquisition of Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and 3D-vector field MR Elastography (MRE) data. The simultaneous encoding of MRE and diffusion is first achieved by modulating the timing of the motion-sensitizing gradient with the diffusion time, and with the mechanical vibration frequency. The simultaneous acquisition of a 3D-vector field MRE and DTI is then achieved by designing a particular gradient encoding scheme with the application of a series of motion-sensitizing gradients in non-collinear and non-coplanar directions. The present work demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed concept in the mouse brain in vivo.
