Abstract
A method for measuring soft tissue texture to identify diseased as opposed to normal tissue by identifying textural markers that distinguish diseased tissue from normal tissue and selecting a MRμT excitation sequence and associated parameters to reveal those markers. Data is then acquired in an MR scanner responsive to the selected MRμT excitation sequence to establish a multipoint time series data set. The acquired data is then analyzed for presence of the markers.
