Magnetomotive probe assembly and method of use thereof

摘要

A magnetomotive imaging probe assembly is disclosed comprising a probe support and a magnet arranged on said probe support. The probe support is adapted to connect to an ultra sound transducer and fixate the position of the ultra sound transducer in relation to, and adjacent, the magnet, whereby in use the magnet is arranged to generate a time-varying magnetic field at an imaging plane of the ultrasound transducer.
