Abstract
A system and method for generating a spatial map of parameters that describe the mechanically-induced harmonic motion information present within a magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) data set is provided. A first temporal harmonic signal is estimated using a graph-cut based optimization strategy, and can subsequently be used to generate a spatial map of mechanical parameters. The MRE data set is used to estimate the harmonic. The spatial map is of a mechanical parameter derived from the estimated harmonic.
