  • METHOD AND MEDICAL APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A TUMOR CHARACTERISTIC
    Publication number: 20100240993
    Abstract: In a method and medical apparatus to determine a tumor characteristic related to a body region of a patient, the body region is exposed to acoustic energy that mechanically irritates the body region. A first value of a characteristic value of the patient that is correlated with the irritation is determined at a first point in time. A second value of the characteristic value is determined at a second point in time after the first point in time and after the exposure. The tumor characteristic is determined from the change between first value and second value.
