To achieve the high spatial resolution MR elastography(MRE), it has been reported that combining SS-SE-EPI with a spatially selective excitation provides an efficient way of reducing FOV. Using this technique, we performed phantom study and pancreatic MRE. We report the result of our study and the point we found when performing the reduced-FOV MRE.
