Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The mechanical property of biological tissues is an important index for the diagnosis of organ dysfunction and diseases. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is based on a phase-contrast MRI imaging technique. Mechanical waves can be visualized and shear modulus is measured in tissue applied to harmonic mechanical excitation. We have been using a transverse driver which generates shear waves at the object surface and gradient-echo (GRE) based MRE sequence. The problems of the MRE system is that shear waves rapidly attenuate at the surface of tissue. And GRE-MRE sequence needs long scan-time. In this study, we develop longitudinal driver and spin-echo EPI based MRE sequence. The longitudinal driver was found to induce shear waves inside the kidney. The scan time of SE-EPI MRE sequence is 6.4 times faster than the GRE-MRE sequence. These results suggest that the longitudinal driver with SE-EPI MRE sequence will suitable for in-vivo study.
