A novel elastography approach that uses sinusoidal motion encoding gradients to encode the displacement time-history following a single transient acoustic radiation force excitation is presented. This technique may be particularly well suited for performing elastography before, during, and after MR-guided focused ultrasound treatments since the same device used for therapy is used as an excitation source for elastography.
