The knowledge of the viscoelastic properties of the
human brain tissue may aid in the diagnosis of diseases
like Alzheimers disease, brain cancer or multiple
sclerosis. A novel method to image the viscoelastic
properties of the brain in vivo and non-invasively with
a good spatial resolution is Magnetic Resonance Rheology
(MR-R). MR-R uses an acceleration and creep experiment
inside an MRI, where a motion encoding EPI sequence is
used to measure the relaxation movement of the substance
under investigation. To prove the feasibility of this
novel method and to estimate its potential agar-phantoms
with and without inclusions are investigated.
