Abstract

SE DESCRIBE UN APARATO DE ECOS DE IMPULSO ULTRASONICOS MEJORADOS CON LA PARTICULAR APLICACION DE HACER MEDIDAS DE PRECISION DE COMPRESIBILIDAD EN CUALQUIER MATERIAL DE DIFUSION HACIA ATRAS, EN PARTICULAR TEJIDOS ORGANICOS. UN DISPOSITIVO CONTENEDOR TRANSDUCTIVO O TRANSDUCTIVO ESTANDAR SE TRASLADA TRANSAXIALMENTE, PARA COMPRIMIR O DESPLAZAR UNA PARTE PROXIMAL DEL CUERPO OBJETIVO EN PEQUEÑOS INCREMENTOS CONSABIDOS. A CADA INCREMENTO, SE EMITE UN IMPULSO Y UNA SECUENCIA ECO (LINEA-A) SE DETECTA DESDE LAS PARTES DENTRO DEL OBJETIVO A LO LARGO DE LA TRAYECTORIA O RAYO DEL TRANSDUCTOR. EL TIEMPO RESULTANTE DESPLAZA EN ECO SEGMENTOS QUE CORRESPONDEN A CARACTERISTICAS DEL OBJETIVO EN RELACION A INFORMACION CUANTITATIVA CON RESPECTO A LA COMPRESIBILIDAD DEL MISMO.
