An analysis method for viscoelastic materials using magnetic resonance elastography

摘要

This paper investigates a complex wave number approach based on the spatial frequency domain for analyzing viscoelastic materials using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). A numerical system, including simple and realistic models, has been developed to evaluate the proposed method. Various simulations conducted clearly demonstrate that the proposed method has the potential ability to analyze viscoelastic shear modulus in MRE.
