ULTRASOUND IMAGING PROBE FOR IMAGING A TEMPORARY CHANGE IN AN ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to an ultrasound imaging probe for imaging an environment (10), comprising two types of transducers, characterized in that the first type of transducer (1) is dedicated to the ultrasound imaging of the environment (10), and the second type of transducer (2) is dedicated to the generation of a stress producing at least a temporary change in the imaged environment (10), both types of transducer(s) (1, 2) being capable of functioning at least in a so-called coupled mode where the first type of transducers (1) operates in synchronization with the second type of transducers (2) so as to image the development of the temporary changes of the environment (10).
