Longitudinal Multifrequency MR Elastography Reveals Biomechanical Signatures of Progression in a Translational Liver Tumor Model. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Longitudinal multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (mMRE) performed on a clinical 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system reveals early biomechanical alterations during liver tumor progression in a translational VX2 model. Changes in tumor stiffness and viscosity precede diffusion‐related alterations and are associated with extracellular ...
