Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a virtual palpation technique that can be used to measuree muscle stiffness quantitatively and non-invasively. Upper Trapezius (UT) muscle is the muscle with the highest prevalence of Myofascial Trigger Points (MTrPs) and often the muscle is painful in patients with Office Syndrome (OS). The purpose of this study is to develop an MRE protocol for measuring the stiffness of UT muscle. MRE data were acquired for two different positions of the actuator, with different direction encoding gradients and different vibration frequencies, for UT on both the left and right sides of the body. Nine healthy subjects (4 females and 5 males with mean age of 28.67 ± 6.78 years) were recruited. MRI investigations were performed on a 1.5 T Ingenia MRI system (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) in the Department of Radiology, Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Stiffness measurements were obtained directly from the stiffness maps output on the MRI system console and also by using the caliper and phase gradient techniques in MRELab software (Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, USA). Region of Interest (ROI) analysis was used to obtain stiffness values for UT based on visual inspection of the elastograms and consideration of the anatomical and wave images. No significant difference was observed between the stiffness of left 1.12 ± 0.59 kPa and right 1.12 ± 0.36 kPa UT (p>0.05) of the nine participants studied with medial position of the actuator, Foot-Head MEG direction and 100 MHz vibration frequency. The protocol will in future be applied to study the effect on the stiffness of UT muscle of application of Thai Traditional Massage (TTM) to treat Office Syndrome.
