ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an imaging tool to introduce a vibrational force into an object. The imaging tool includes a pair of flywheels that are driven by a motor in opposing rotational paths so as to introduce a harmonic mechanical excitation to the object. The imaging tool is constructed to be of handheld size so as to be suitable for ultrasound and is RF-compatible with MR scanners.
