Viscoelastic modulus of agarose gels by magnetic resonance elastography using Micro-MRI

This study aimed to apply magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) using micro-magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) system for the measurements of viscoelastic modulus in soft matters. The rectangular specimens of 90 × 70 × 50 mm were made of agarose gel with five kinds of stiffness by changing conce...
