Measuring and forming images of elastic tissue characteristics with low frequency vibrations involves computing envelope of periodically fluctuating tissue extension caused by vibration

The method involves measuring and displaying the extension of biological tissue (2). The envelope of a periodically fluctuating tissue extension that is caused by a vibration source applied to the tissue or by an internal vibration source within the tissue is computed (5) for each image point and di...

More Information
Summary:The method involves measuring and displaying the extension of biological tissue (2). The envelope of a periodically fluctuating tissue extension that is caused by a vibration source applied to the tissue or by an internal vibration source within the tissue is computed (5) for each image point and displayed (6). An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for measuring and forming images of elastic tissue characteristics with low frequency vibrations.
