Yes, strain imaging requires a special MRI machine compared to normal MRI. The special MRI machine is equipped with advanced software and hardware that can analyze the deformation or strain of tissues and organs during MRI scans. The strain imaging technique is based on the application of mechanical stress to the tissue or organ, and the measurement of the resulting displacement or deformation by MRI. Therefore, the special MRI machine must be able to generate and control mechanical stress within the body, and capture high-resolution images of the tissue or organ in real-time. These machines are typically found in specialized medical centers or research facilities.
