## Abstract Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a rapidly developing technology for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of tissue. The technology can be considered to be an imagingโbased counterpart to palpation, commonly used by physicians to diagnose and characterize diseases.

## Abstract Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was extended to the microscopic scale to image lowโfrequency acoustic shear waves (typically less than 1 kHz) in soft gels and soft biological tissues with high spatial resolution (34 ฮผm ร 34 ฮผm ร 500 ฮผm). Microscopic MRE (ฮผMRE) was applied to agaro
## Abstract Tissue stiffness is known to undergo alterations when affected by prostate cancer and may serve as an indicator of the disease. Stiffness measurements can be made with magnetic resonance elastography performed using a transurethral actuator to generate shear waves in the prostate gland.
