AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper discusses the possibility of adapting magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) techniques, originally used for softer tissues, to measure properties in solid materials with higher stiffness and lower nuclear spin densities.
  • The MRE method is modified to effectively visualize shear wave displacements in two types of polymeric materials, including one that is relatively stiff.
  • Results suggest the modified MRE technique can be successfully applied to analyze the mechanical properties of solid materials.

Article Abstract

In this paper, the feasibility of extending previously described magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) dynamic displacement (and associated elasticity) measurement techniques, currently used successfully in tissue, to solid materials which have much higher shear rigidity and much lower nuclear spin densities, is considered. Based on these considerations, the MRE technique is modified in a straightforward manner and used to directly visualize shear wave displacements within two polymeric materials, one of which is relatively stiff.
