AB  - Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique which is becoming more commonly used in radiology departments to assess different stages of liver fibrosis. In the last decade, numerous MRE protocols have been developed to measure the shear stiffness of different tissues such as skeletal muscle, breast, kidney, and brain to characterize the mechanical behavior of living tissues. Thus, in addition to the anatomical and textural images obtained with the classical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam, it is now possible to correlate the morphological features with the mechanical properties, allowing for more accurate follow-up and treatment of lung pathology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, MRE has found another relevant application in the assessment of damage to the lung parenchyma resulting from viral infection. This review provides a better understanding of how to assess pulmonary biomechanics using the MRE technique.
