SampLe Interval Modulation Magnetic Resonance
Elastography (SLIM-MRE) enables the simultaneous
acquisition of the 3D displacement vector through
direction-dependent shifting of motion encoding
gradients relative to the applied vibration. In this
study, we have embedded a SLIM-MRE acquisition scheme
into a multishot, variable-density spiral imaging
sequence and have determined the cerebral mechanical
properties of three volunteers. Our findings suggest
that SLIM reduces MRE scan time and allows immediate
co-registration of the three displacement components
without compromising inversion results.
