## Abstract The purpose of this work was to develop magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the fast and reproducible measurement of spatially averaged viscoelastic constants of living human brain. The technique was based on a phaseβsensitive echo planar imaging acquisition. Motion encoding was o

## Abstract ## Purpose: To test patient acceptance and reproducibility of the 3D magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) brain exam using a soft vibration source, and to determine if MRE could noninvasively measure a change in the elastic properties of the brain parenchyma due to Alzheimer's disease
## Abstract ## Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of quantitative in vivo ultrahigh field magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the human brain in a broad range of lowβfrequency mechanical vibrations. ## Materials and Methods: Mechanical vibrations were coupled into the brain of a health
Biochemical maturation of the brain can be studied noninvasively by (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in human infants. Detailed time courses of cerebral tissue contents are known for the most abundant metabolites only, and whether or not premature birth affects biochemical maturation of th
## Abstract Magnetic resonance (MR) and ionophoresis are two experimental methods that provide measurements of molecular diffusion in living tissue. Typical experimental settings yield MR studies that are sensitive to mean molecular displacements of βΌ5 ΞΌm, and ionophoresis experiments to displaceme
Understanding of the morphological development of the human brain has largely come from neuropathological studies obtained postmortem. Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques have recently allowed the provision of detailed structural, metabolic, and functional information in vivo on the human brain. Thes
