Abstract

A new method for evaluating Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) wave images is introduced, which consists of both local frequency estimation (LIFE) and simulation of wave patterns by a coupled harmonic oscillator (CHO) approach. It is shown that i) LFE performs improved reconstruction by use of Gauss filters and ii) CHO calculations can help to refine the resulting wave speed or elasticity map by taking local attenuation, reflection, and diffraction into account. The performance of new LIFE and CHO calculations is demonstrated by MRE experiments on a gel phantom as well as by simulations of shear waves in a brain phantom, such as for potential in-vivo MRE-experiments.
