Illustration of a driver system for clinical hepatic MRE. The source of mechanical waves is an “active driver” device that can be located outside the scanner room. Pressure waves are transmitted to a non-metallic “passive driver”, placed in contact with the body, via a flexible air-filled plastic tube. A flexible membrane on the surface of the passive driver conducts the vibrations into the body, to generate propagating shear waves.
