ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an ultrasonic device for continuously and noninvasively monitoring instantaneous fluctuations in viscoelastic-related properties of tissue comprising a pair of substantially parallel spaced-apart piezoelectric transducers having a gap therebetween and adapted to bracket and come in direct contact with living tissue inserted in the gap between the transducers, at least one of the transducers being adjustable with respect to the other transducer whereby the distance between the transducers is adjustable to enable insertion and clamping of a segment of living tissue therein. The invention also provides a method for continuously and noninvasively monitoring instantaneous fluctuations in viscoelastic-related properties of a tissue with high resolution utilizing such a device.
