Magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force imaging (MR-ARFI) has been used pre-clinically to detect tissue displacement changes during magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound treatments. Although displacement is a quantitative metric, shear stiffness is typically used to clinically describe disease states. This work develops and evaluates a model-based technique to determine tissue shear stiffness from MR-ARFI displacement measurements. The MR-ARFI derived values are compared to conventional MR elastography shear stiffness values in a phantom study.
