Free‐Breathing, 3D Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Myocardial Stiffness Mapping
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2356-2369, April 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the heart has predominantly utilized breath‐held acquisitions with limited anatomic coverage. This work investigates the feasibility of 3D, free‐breathing cardiac MRE. Methods A 3D hybrid radial and EPI acquisition is utilized and combined with retrospective binning of k‐space via physiologic ...
