Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has become common in clinical practice to use magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for noninvasive evaluation of tissue elasticity. To assess quantitativity and repeatability of MRE systems and to compare viscoelastic parameters between different MRE systems, a quantitative phantom is required. We have developed phantoms for this purpose. However, the phantoms were not suitable for clinical practice because the viscosity is lower than those of human tissue. The purpose of this study was to develop a tissue-simulating tough and stable phantom for MRE. To increase the viscosity, 40wt% glycerin was added to phantom. MRE measurements were performed on a 3 T and 0.3 T MRI using a spin-echo (SE) EPI-MRE pulse sequence. The loss tangent (ratio of the loss and storage moduli) of the new gel was significantly larger than that of the polyacrylamide gel by itself. In this study, we successfully increased the viscosity of a phantom by adding glycerin, and assess stability of the phantom.
