Publication number: 20230293154Abstract: An elastography device comprising: a probe that comprises a protruding part to be applied against the body of a subject, a low frequency vibrator arranged to move the protruding part, at least one ultrasound emitter and one ultrasound receiver; and an electronic unit. The electronic unit is adapted to alternatively control the elastography device so that it operates (a) in a guidance mode to determine whether the probe is correctly positioned in front of a region of the body to be probed to carry out a measurement of a mechanical property of the probed region and (b) in a measurement. In the guidance mode, the vibrator delivers a plurality of successive probing pulses (PRB), each being a transient, low frequency mechanical pulse, and the electronic unit determines a propagation quality indicator (Q) representative of an aptitude of the probed region to transmit the probing pulse.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2022Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Stéphane AUDIÈRE, Cécile BASTARD, Hugo LORÉE, Véronique MIETTE, Laurent SANDRIN

Publication number: 20120065504Abstract: The present invention relates to a Method of measuring the viscoelastic properties of biological tissues employing an ultrasonic transducer equipped with elements converting the ultrasonic waves reflected by these biological tissues into electrical signals, different elements being grouped to form sub-apertures such that the acquisition of electrical signals from the elements of the same sub-aperture is carried out simultaneously, each of these sub-apertures being intercepted by an ultrasonic wave propagation axis at an acoustic center (Ca). In conformance with the invention, such a method is characterized in that one and the same element belongs to at least two different sub-apertures and in that an acoustic center is surrounded by at least three other unaligned acoustic centers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: ECHOSENS SAInventors: Laurent Sandrin, Veronique Miette

Patent number: 6202489Abstract: An ultrasonic testing method for parts of complex geometry comprises using a multielement transducer transmitting focused ultrasonic waves into the part to be tested. The focusing of the ultrasonic waves is implemented in two different modes using multichannel control electronics. The two focusing modes are an electronic focusing mode and a time reversal focusing mode which are selected as a function of the depth of the particular test zone. The time reversal focusing mode is selected to test central zones located at the largest depths around the longitudinal axis of the part. The electronic focusing mode is selected to test intermediate zones situated at depths between the central zones and a peripheral zone of the part.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1999Date of Patent: March 20, 2001Assignee: Societe Nationale d'Etude et de Construction de Moteurs d'Aviation (S.N.E.C.M.A.)Inventors: Lionel Beffy, Mathias Alexandre Fink, Yves Gérard Mangenet, Véronique Miette, Jean François Wu
