Abstract

The article discusses a study on a magnetic resonance-based acoustic radiation force imaging method that is developed to decrease the deposition of ultrasound energy and scanning time. It focuses on the application of the method on ex vivo and phantom brain tissue. It explains the use of displacement maps to examine the phase changes during the ultrasound. It states the sensitivity of the displacement imaging that is ideal for rapid feedbacks during treatment.
