Real-time elastography is well established in ultrasound but has not yet been achieved in MRI. Real-time elastography would be desirable for studying processes that are not easily repeatable or reproducible such as skeletal muscle function. Therefore, we developed a new concept in magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) based on stroboscopic wave sampling and single-shot spiral-k-space acquisition to push temporal resolution of MRE towards real-time elastography. Application of the new method is demonstrated in the lower leg muscles of healthy volunteers.
