Multifrequency Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MMRE)
fuses MRE acquisitions at multiple frequencies to
increase resolution and gain information about
dispersion across frequencies. Here the Stationary
Super-Resolution (SSR) technique was applied to MMRE
images to map sub-voxel features. SSR was first
validated with numerical simulations in which sub-voxel
features are acquired of a downsampled image. SSR was
then applied to a pilot study of three brains: one
healthy, one with glioblastoma and one with metastasis.
Subvoxel features such as gray matter-CSF and
gliosis-oedema interfaces are identified in the
recovered parameter maps.
