MR Touch, developed by GE with the Mayo Clinic, approaches liver exams by using acoustic waves to identify variations in tissue stiffness. This provides an Elastrogram, an anatomical depiction of the tissue stiffness of the liver.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technology that uses MRI and low-frequency mechanical waves to noninvasively measure the stiffness of biological tissues. MRE is an FDA-cleared upgrade for MRI systems and is currently available at thousands of sites across the globe as a painless and less expensive alternative to ...

MR Elastography (MR Touch) Patient Preparation for Exam: Patients should be fasting for at least 6 hours minimum. (No food/water is acceptable) It may increase portal pressure. Tips: Run the MRE earlier in the exam rather than later…this will allow for more time to troubleshoot any issues. Patient setup and scanning: 1.

MR Touch, developed by GE with the Mayo Clinic, approaches liver exams by using acoustic waves to identify variations in tissue stiffness. This provides an Elastogram, an anatomical depiction of the tissue stiffness of the liver.

"Touch Me" is a song by the Doors from their 1969 album The Soft Parade. Written by guitarist Robby Krieger in late 1968, it makes extensive use of brass and string instruments, including a solo by featured saxophonist Curtis Amy .

Carefully compare the benefits of MR versus alternative procedures before scanning to control risk to the patient. A physician needs to decide to scan pregnant or infant patients.

This review describes the basic principles of MRE and introduces some of the many promising MRE methods that have been developed for the detection and characterization of cancer, evaluation of response to therapy, and investigation of the underlying mechanical mechanisms associated with malignancy.

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is used to evaluate tissue stiffness in diverse organs such as liver, breast, muscle, kidney, and spleen. It has been proven to be highly sensitive for various clinical applications, particularly in the detection of liver fibrosis (1 – 3).

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a form of elastography that specifically leverages MRI to quantify and subsequently map the mechanical properties (elasticity or stiffness) of soft tissue.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a revolutionary imaging tool that quantitatively depicts the mechanical properties of tissue almost anywhere in the body. With MRE, radiologists can measure changes in tissue stiffness that occur in conditions like fibrosis and cancer, and obtain information painlessly and noninvasively that previously ...
