Synopsis

Keywords: Elastography, Elastography, Transient wave, multi-scale encodingWe demonstrate imaging of the propagation of transient waves using multi-scale motion encoding gradient waveforms. Displacement values are calculated using the inverse Haar transforms. We validated the results by comparison with wave images obtained using standard MRE acquisition and processing. The approach provides the ability to image broadband motion more efficiently and accurately compared with previous methods and promises to be a useful approach for biomechanical studies of traumatic brain injury.
