摘要:
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:
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.
摘要:
The invention relates to an emulsion that can be activated by ultrasounds, comprising, in an emulsion in an aqueous solution, microparticles (1) having a diameter (D) of less than 10 µm and containing an active agent and a gaseous precursor (3) in a liquid form, encapsulated by a first emulsifier (4). The microparticles contain nanoparticles (5) smaller than 1 µm, in an emulsion in the gaseous precursor, each nanoparticle comprising an inner liquid (6) that contains the active agent and is encapsulated by second emulsifier (7).
摘要:
Method for producing an emulsion comprising droplets (1) in an external solution (2), the droplets containing a fluid (3). The fluid is circulated along a first main pipe (11), some of the fluid circulating in the first main pipe is bled off by a plurality of micro pipes (13) arranged in parallel between the first main pipe and a second main pipe (12) filled with external solution, the droplets are formed by hydrodynamic focusing as the fluid passes from each micro pipe into the second main pipe.
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.
