Purpose: To investigate the potential value of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in evaluating the consistency of brain tumors. Material and Methods: Six patients with known solid brain tumor underwent brain MRE studies. Consistency of brain tumors was evaluated at surgery. Correspondence of MRE evaluation with operative result was studied. Results: The elasticity of tumors in six patients evaluated by MRE agreed with the tumor consistency given by the operative results. Conclusion: MRE could be used as an imaging technique for noninvasive assessment of the consistency of brain tumor in vivo.
