摘要: This invention provides a dual-modality system for performing characterization and imaging of tissue, tumors, structures, lesions, ablations under investigation. Specifically, the couples ultrasound technology comprising at least two focused beams vibrating target tissues located focal point intersection with radio frequency measuring response tissues. The vibrates while reflected energy is transmitted into When reflected, main carrier tone cancelled analysis performed on remaining sideband frequencies.
