Resumo	Functional Ultrasound (fUS) is a high-framerate Doppler ultrasound technique that dynamically maps blood flow and hemodynamic changes in vivo with millisecond temporal resolution. Pioneered by Tanter, Macé, and colleagues in the 2010s, fUS enables real-time imaging of microvascular perfusion in the brain and other organs. By combining ultrafast acquisition (1000-5000 frames per second) with Doppler processing, fUS reveals functional activity (hemodynamic changes during stimulation or behavior) and vascular networks with unprecedented spatiotemporal detail.	Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive imaging technique that measures tissue stiffness by encoding the motion of acoustic shear waves into MRI signal and calculating the elastic modulus from wave propagation patterns. Developed by Muthupillai and colleagues in 1995, MRE enables quantitative assessment of tissue mechanics, particularly useful for diagnosing liver fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction, and neurological diseases. It has emerged as a non-invasive alternative to biopsy for staging hepatic fibrosis and is expanding into other organ systems.
