A system and method senses an in-vivo lumen using ultrasonic elements typically arranged in a ring or other similar structure. Position information may be collected. A set of reflectance data may be collected and used to form an image or representation of the lumen. In one example, the data is collected by an in-vivo autonomous capsule. Additionally, ultrasonic elements may be arranged in order to receive a mechanical characteristic of the tissue (e.g., acoustic impedance) rather than an image or representation.
