Abstract

A device and method for producing mechanical oscillations in a research object using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) with a membrane that can be set into periodic motion and a transmission element for the transmission of periodic motion of the membrane onto the research object, whereby the membrane is connected to the transmission element by means of a mounting medium in such a way that periodic motion of the membrane is transmitted over the mounting medium to the transmission element.
