Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to improvement and evaluation of novel MR Elastography : MRE (i.e. technique for imaging as for the elasticity of the organization using magnetic resonance). We found the weak point of MRE imaging. And, its pulse sequence system has been improved. The characteristic of the lower skeletal muscle was evaluated by the improved pulse sequence. As content, the skeletal muscle motor function and anisotropy was evaluated by elasticity.
