MR Elastography is beneficial in measuring the stiffness values of tissues which can change in disease. Nevertheless, cardiac MR Elastography is not only challenging from the acquisition side but also from the reconstruction side because of the higher stiffness values expected in the cardiac muscle compared to the other organs in which MR Elastography is commonly applied. Here, we present data in healthy subjects and a patient acquired with the gravitational transducer with a novel synchronising strategy in combination with a single-shot SE-EPI-MRE sequence employing second-order motion compensated motion encoding gradients with and without ZOnal Oblique Multislice Imaging.
