Brain MR Elastography (MRE) has been shown to add value to neurological imaging. Brain biomechanical properties are correlated with age, gender, exercise and memory in normal volunteers. In patients with neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, dementia and intracranial tumors, global and regional brain mechanical properties may be sensitive biomarkers. Characterization of the cross-platform performance of regional stiffness measurements using 3D brain MRE is important for future multiplatform, multicenter brain MRE studies. The purpose of our study was to compare regional 3D brain MRE in normal volunteers using two vendor platforms.
