We propose a MRE method utilizing shear waves induced by
continuous low frequency vibration (10 20 Hz). The
method is demonstrated for high resolution elastography
of the brain and liver, and compared to results obtained
by standard MRE frequencies from 25 to 50 Hz. Through
low attenuation of the waves, a homogenous illumination
of the tissue is achieved and high resolution
elastograms are reconstructed despite long wave lengths.
This opens the possibility to investigate tissue
behavior with low dynamic MRE e.g. for exploiting
poroelastic tissue properties.
