MR elastography (MRE) was performed to study the
viscoelasticity of glioblastoma (GB) in the GL261 mouse
model. We found that the magnitude of the complex shear
modulus |G*| of the tumor was significantly reduced
while the phase angle showed a large heterogeneity of
values compared to healthy brain tissue. Our results
corroborate clinical studies of MRE in GB and raise the
prospect of assessing tumor malignancy by tissue
mechanical constants.
