Estimation of the absolute shear stiffness of human lung parenchyma using 1H spin echo, echo planar MR elastography

To develop a rapid proton MR elastography (MRE) technique that can quantify the absolute shear stiffness of lung parenchyma, to investigate the ability to differentiate respiration‐dependent stiffness variations of the lung, and to demonstrate clinical feasibility.
