Zusammenfassung:A system for MR Elastography of a sample, including ultrasound gel to sheath the sample, a vessel to accept the flow of the sample sheathed in ultrasound gel, a sensor array adapted to capture an ultrasound measurement and an MR measurement, wherein the sensor array including an ultrasound transmitter and an ultrasound receiver, and the sensor array is coupled to the vessel, and the vessel is capable of mechanical conductance between the ultrasound transducers, and the ultrasound gel, and a pump to create a pressure based flow of ultrasound fluid through the vessel and move the sample in proximity to the sensor array for capture of MR and ultrasound measurements of the sample as the sheathed sample passes by the sensor array.
