This paper presents a new imaging method for quasi-static magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Tagged magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of human lower leg was acquired with probe indentation using a MR-compatible actuation system. Indentation force was recorded for soft tissue elasticity reconstruction. Motion tracking and strain map of human lower leg are calculated using a harmonic phase (HARP)-based method. Simulated tagged MR images were constructed and analyzed to validate the HARP-based method. Our results show that the proposed imaging method can be used to generate accurate motion distribution and strain maps of the targeted soft tissue.
本文提出了一种用于准静态磁共振弹性成像（MRE）的新成像方法。使用与磁共振兼容的驱动系统，通过探头压痕获取了人体小腿的标记磁共振（MR）图像。记录压痕力以进行软组织弹性重建。使用基于谐波相位（HARP）的方法计算人体小腿的运动跟踪和应变图。构建并分析了模拟标记MR图像以验证基于HARP的方法。我们的结果表明，所提出的成像方法可用于生成目标软组织的准确运动分布和应变图。
