<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for presenting the elasticity of body tissue to a user (doctor) especially concretely and sensuously. <P>SOLUTION: Measured data based on a measurement of the elasticity of the body tissue in non-contacting fashion are supplied to a machine/human interface (5) that conveys tactile feedback information related with this measured data to the user. This interface (5) enables the user to perform a relative virtual motion around a starting point in the selected tissue region. The user can thus 'feel' the elasticity of tissue that is not non-invasively accessible to a touch examination from the outside. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
