The technique of MR elastography (MRE) has emerged as a useful modality for quantitatively imaging the mechanical properties of soft tissues in vivo. Recently, MRE has been introduced as a clinical tool for evaluating chronic liver disease, but many other potential applications are being explored. These applications include measuring tissue changes associated with diseases of the liver, breast, brain, heart, and skeletal muscle including both focal lesions (e.g., hepatic, breast, and brain tumors) and diffuse diseases (e.g., fibrosis and multiple sclerosis). The purpose of this review article is to summarize some of the recent developments of MRE and to highlight some emerging applications.
磁共振弹性成像（MRE）技术已成为一种有用的方法，可以定量成像体内软组织的机械性能。最近，MRE 已被引入作为评估慢性肝病的临床工具，但许多其他潜在的应用正在探索中。这些应用包括测量与肝脏、乳房、大脑、心脏和骨骼肌疾病相关的组织变化，包括局灶性病变（例如肝、乳房和脑肿瘤）和弥漫性疾病（例如纤维化和多发性硬化症）。本文综述的目的是总结 MRE 的一些最新进展，并强调一些新出现的应用。
