The stiffness of tissue is related to physiological and pathological state. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a technique that can noninvasively visualize shear waves patterns within tissue with a modified phase-contrast MR sequence. In order to generate shear waves in deep region of tissue, we have used a focused acoustic driver. The shear waves generated by the focused acoustic driver make complex shear waves in deep region. There are three types of inversion algorithms, local frequency estimation (LFE), direct inversion (DI) and integral type reconstruction formula (ITRF) which are applicable noisy shear wave images and estimate the shear modulus quantitatively. The purpose of this work is to show that the most suitable inversion algorithms for noisy complex shear wave images. From the results of the phantom study, we result that ITRF with integral type curl-operator is the most suitable inversion algorithms for the focused acoustic driver. |
