Abstract
Modified spin-echo (SE) and SE echo-planar imaging MR elastographic pulse sequences provide shear stiffness measurements equivalent to those provided with the current clinical standard and provide ... PurposeTo (a) evaluate modified spin-echo (SE) magnetic resonance (MR) elastographic sequences for acquiring MR images with improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in patients in whom the standard gra...Keywords
