Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is currently being explored as a biomarker of neurodegenerative disease including dementia. A difficulty for this process of evaluation is that the measures of biomechanical properties obtained for healthy brain using MRE have varied widely. However the methodology has not been consistent between studies, such as wave frequency and the means of wave delivery. In this work an initial evaluation of has been made of a method to simulate skull vibration dynamics during MRE, to compare the impact of delivering the waves from different positions on the skull.
