  • System including a vibrator and an ultrasound emitter for characterizing tissue
    Patent number: 12478350
    Abstract: A system for characterizing tissue includes a probe that delivers a continuous and periodic mechanical vibration to a tissue of a subject; an ultrasound emitter that emits a sequence of ultrasound shots and an ultrasound receiver that receives corresponding echo signals to track how the tissue is moved by the periodic mechanical vibration delivered to the tissue; and a control module programmed to provide homogeneity information to an operator of the system, the homogeneity information being determined from at least some of the echo signals and being representative of the ability of the tissue to transmit elastic waves and of the homogeneity of the tissue with respect to the propagation of elastic waves.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2022
    Date of Patent: November 25, 2025
    Assignee: ECHOSENS SA
    Inventors: Laurent Sandrin, Hugo Loree
