Overview of MRE data acquisition and processing: (A) An external mechanical actuator is used to lightly vibrate the head and generate shear deformations in brain tissue; (B) specialized phase-contrast MRI sequences image the resulting deformation through synchronization with applied vibration; and (C) an inversion algorithm is used to calculate the mechanical property distribution from imaged wave field.
