MAGNETOMOTIVE PROBE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

摘要

A magnetomotive imaging probe system is disclosed comprising a movable probe, a magnet arranged on the probe, and an ultra sound transducer, wherein the magnet is arranged to generate a time-varying magnetic field (T) at an imaging plane (304) of the ultrasound transducer, distally of the ultra sound transducer and the probe, when the probe has a proximal first position adjacent the ultra sound transducer.
