Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive MRI based technique for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of tissues. It was formerly demonstrated in a simulation study that 6 to 9 voxels per wavelength is needed to properly quantify the mechanical properties of the tissue. This study investigates the precision and the accuracy of shear wave velocity in two organs at different mechanical excitation frequency and spatial resolution to validate in vivo the optimal conditions of ERM outcomes.
