Abstract

Système permettant une interprétation quantitative des résultats. Il comprend un dispositif d'exploration pourvu d'un axe de rotation et comportant un réservoir de liquide 11 qui porte un transducteur émetteur 14 pour la production d'un faisceau ultrasonore en éventail ainsi qu'un reseau courbe 16 de transducteurs de réception 17 pour détecter individuellement des impulsions acoustiques se propageant, selon des trajets divergents, à travers le liquide et un corps 15 à analyser immergé dans ce liquide, des moyens pour entraîner le dispositif d'exploration en rotation et pour exciter le transducteur émetteur afin de former les impulsions acoustiques en des positions angulaires sélectionnées du dispositif d'exploration et des moyens d'acquisition de données 18 qui, pour chaque position angulaire, forment des données de sortie d état par détection au niveau de chacun des transducteurs de réception, l'ensemble des données de sortie d'état pour les positions angulaires respectives du dispositif d'exploration constituant des états de transmission de temps de vol utilisés, en combinaison, pour reconstituer les répartitions de vitesses en des coordonnées déterminées d'une couche du corps analysé. Application à la tomographie des tissus mous du corps humain.
