Abstract
Provided is a device for elasticity detection, comprising a processor (1), an imaging device (2), an ultrasonic transducer (3) and a puncturing device (4). The ultrasonic transducer (3) is connected to the processor (1) and is configured to detect and obtain morphology characteristic information and elasticity characteristic information of a tissue. The imaging device (2) is connected to the processor (1) and is configured to obtain a morphology image and an elasticity image of the tissue according to the morphology characteristic information and the elasticity characteristic information, respectively, under the control of the processor (1), and merge and display the elasticity image in the morphology image. The puncturing device (4) is connected to the processor (1) and is configured to determine a puncture position according to guidance of the merged image and perform a puncturing and sampling on the tissue.
