This project will develop new methods of noninvasively measuring the viscoelastic properties of soft tissues in live humans, using a novel magnetic resonance elastography technique. These methods will be applied to study the operation of the human muscle-tendon system, differences in neck muscle properties with age and gender and to measure the properties of the human brain, kidney and liver in vivo. These techniques may be useful in diagnosing soft tissue disease or injury which are currently difficult to detect using standard imaging techniques. It will also explain how the muscle-tendon unit moves during normal motion in live humans.

该项目将开发新的方法，非侵入性测量软组织的粘弹性在活的人，使用一种新的磁共振弹性成像技术。这些方法将用于研究人体肌肉-肌腱系统的运作，颈部肌肉特性随年龄和性别的差异，以及测量人体大脑，肾脏和肝脏的特性。这些技术可用于诊断目前难以使用标准成像技术检测的软组织疾病或损伤。它还将解释肌肉肌腱单位如何在正常运动过程中在活的人。
