A method of determining the real distance between an emitter/receiver face (212) of an imaging probe (2) and a target site, the probe emitting and receiving waves through a propagation medium and living tissue, the method comprising the following successive steps: determining the theoretical distance between the face and the target site when the face is separated from the target site only by the living tissue; determining a distance correction resulting from the fact that the emitted and received waves have passed through the propagation medium; and applying said correction to the theoretical distance so as to obtain the real distance. |
