Synopsis

Keywords: Low-Field MRI, ElastographyRecent development of ultra-low-field (ULF) MRI presents opportunities for low-cost and portable imaging in point-of-care scenarios or/and low- and mid-income countries. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an essential part of MR abdominal imaging especially for chronic liver diseases. In this study, we explore the MRE at 0.055 Tesla. We demonstrate the feasibility of MRE based on phantom experiments at 0.055 Tesla.
