Abstract:
A noble gas is administered to a subject to fill the lungs and magnetic resonance elastography image data is acquired while vibrations are applied to the chest wall. Shear waves are established in the gas-filled lungs by the vibrations and a shear modulus image is reconstructed from the MRE image data that may be used in the diagnosis of lung disease.
