## Abstract Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is capable of noninvasively quantifying the mechanical properties of skeletal muscles in vivo. This information can be clinically useful to understand the effects of pathologies on the mechanical properties of muscle and to quantify the effects of t

Alterations in the mechanical properties or "hardness" of tissues allow physicians to detect disease by palpation. Recently, attempts have been made to quantitate and image these tissue properties with the use of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). This technique has been validated in ex vivo spe
## Abstract ## Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of 1D MR elastography (MRE) to rapidly assess skeletal muscle stiffness in vivo. ## Materials and Methods Shear waves were induced in the vastus medialis muscle (VM) using a pneumatic driver at 90 Hz and 2D MRE data were collected. Spatially
