Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) with high motion sensitivity was used to investigate the influence of subject position (prone versus supine) on regional brain motion. Preliminary results in 9 volunteers demonstrated that there is a significant difference in displacement with a change in position. Displacements were significantly increased in the frontal lobe going from the prone to the supine position and significantly increased in the occipital lobe going from the supine to the prone position.
