Elasticity is an important physical property of human tissues. There is a tremendous difference in elasticity between normal and pathological tissues. Noninvasive evaluation of the elasticity of human tissues would be valuable for clinical practice. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a recently developed noninvasive imaging technique that can directly visualize and quantitatively measure tissue elasticity. This article reviewed the MRE technique and its current status.
弹性是人体组织的一项重要物理特性。正常组织与病理组织在弹性方面存在巨大差异。对人体组织弹性进行无创评估在临床实践中具有重要价值。磁共振弹性成像（MRE）是一种最近开发的无创成像技术，它能够直接可视化并定量测量组织弹性。本文对MRE技术及其现状进行了综述。
