Quantitative evaluation of shear stiffness and the apparent diffusion coefficient using anthropomorphic multi-stiffness liver phantoms under static and motion conditions.
PURPOSE To evaluate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and MR Elastography (MRE) performance over a clinically relevant stiffness range for liver fibrosis with and without the presence of compressive motion using an in vitro phantom pipeline. METHODS Five anthropomorphic liver phantoms were created using polyacrylamide...
