DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MICRO-ELASTOGRAPHY

摘要

Device and method associated with vibratory micro-elastography for qualitative and/or quantitative measurements of viscoelastic properties such as the elasticity and/or the viscosity of a viscoelastic medium and more particularly of a human or animal biological tissue carried out inside the human or animal body. This method may be carried out using a probe 20 introduced into the human or animal body, which probe 20 is connected to an external controller 24 via a filiform tube 25.
