Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a versatile imaging technique for mapping the
viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues. It has been widely used to detect liver …

Novel neuroimaging techniques that can sensitivity characterize healthy brain aging and
detect subtle neuropathologies have enormous potential to assist in the early detection of …

Standard anatomical atlases are common in neuroimaging because they facilitate data
analyses and comparisons across subjects and studies. The purpose of this study was to …

The white matter tracts of brain tissue consist of highly-aligned, myelinated fibers; white
matter is structurally anisotropic and is expected to exhibit anisotropic mechanical behavior …

Mechanical properties of brain tissue are very complex and vary with the species, region,
method, and dynamic range, and between in vivo and ex vivo measurements. To reconcile …

Elastography has become widely used clinically for characterising changes in soft tissue
mechanics that are associated with altered tissue structure and composition. However, some …

Computational models of the brain and its biomechanical response to skull accelerations
are important tools for understanding and predicting traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) …

Purpose MR elastography (MRE) is a technique to characterize brain mechanical properties
in vivo. Due to the need to capture tissue deformation in multiple directions over time, MRE …

In this study, we describe numerical implementation of a heterogenous, nearly
incompressible, transverse isotropic (NITI) finite element (FE) model with key advantages for …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an MRI technique for imaging the mechanical
properties of brain in vivo, and has shown differences in properties between …
