Due to engineering limitations, the spatial encoding gradient fields produced by an MRI scanner are never perfectly linear. Gradient non-ideality is typically associated with image geometric distortion, but it also imparts spatially varying bias in the signal generated during gradient-based motion encoding. In this work, we theoretically investigate how motion encoding gradient nonlinearity affects MR elastography and develop a corrective strategy applicable to any MRE protocol.
