摘要:
Method of high-resolution ultrasound imaging, in which transducers (T 1 -T n ) are made to emit ultrasound waves in a field of observations containing micro bubbles, by making the micro bubbles burst one by one in tandem with the emissions of ultrasound waves. At each shot j of an ultrasound wave, raw reverberated signals S j (i,t) picked up by each transducer i are recorded, and then differential signals V j (i,t) representative of variations between successive raw signals are determined, a parabolic function P j (x) is fitted to the differential signals corresponding to each shot j, and then a crest A j (x 0 ,y 0 ) of this function P j , corresponding to the position of the micro bubble destroyed between shots j-1 and j, is determined.

Device tracking system for monitoring a target body structure and localizing a device inside said target body structure, it comprising: a control unit, a device comprising one steering element (17) to be handled outside the target body structure, one steerable element (16) to be introduced inside the target body structure. one probe (22) to be removably secured to the patient, one tracker to be secured to the steerable element (16). The control unit stores one ultrasound image of the target body structure. The probe (22) and the tracker communicate, and the control unit is able to localize, in real time, the steerable element (16). The control unit displays, the stored ultrasound image and displays, in real time, the localisation of the at steerable element (16) on said at least one ultrasound image.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method which comprises emitting ultrasound into a liquid mixture containing first and second reagents (A, B) in separate phases initially separated by a liquid precursor-gas barrier (3), the ultrasound having a high enough energy level to vaporise the precursor gas, such as to contact the reagents and thus to activate a chemical reaction therebetween.
