Abstract: The present invention provides an adjunct apparatus to conventional ultrasound systems and method for combining ultrasound images that reflect pulse echo ultrasound properties together with optoacoustic properties of tissues and body fluids as a function of spatial location. The present invention in another aspect consists of the addition of a new operating mode to ultrasound imaging systems.

Abstract: The present invention presents a thorny mosaic-like, fluid pressurized, massaging article characterized by a planar mosaic matrix; said matrix comprising at least one multiple typical arrangement, whereat a massaging thistle is surrounded by a plurality of either a fluid or gas conduits, in the manner while the fluid pressure is decreased in at least one conduit, the pressure in at least one other adjacent conduit is increased so the central massaging thistle is forced to incline either towards said pressurized or depressurized conduit and vice versa.
