The present disclosure relates to an antenna assembly for an imaging method, a use of an antenna assembly and a tomography system, in particular for MRI or simultaneous MR-PET / SPECT. An antenna assembly for an imaging method comprises at least two adjacent antennas, wherein each of the at least two antennas is designed as a J-pole antenna with a radiation section and a feed section. The at least two antennas are arranged alternately at a first angle and a second angle different from the first angle in relation to a reference surface. In this way, effective decoupling of the two antennas is achieved by simple means.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the surface viscoelasticity of biological tissue. The method includes: step S1, driving the surface of the biological tissue in the direction normal to the surface of the surface to move it to a certain displacement along the normal and then holding it; step S2, using a sensor to measure the time-dependent mechanical response of the surface of the biological tissue during the execution of step S1; and step S3, outputting viscoelastic characteristic data of the surface of the biological tissue by a processing module in accordance with the mechanical response acquired by the sensor. The measurement method of the present invention is intended to more scientifically and reliably detect the surface viscoelasticity of biological tissue, particularly human skin.

An aspiration device (110) for measuring the viscoelastic deformability of biological tissues and synthetic materials comprises a probe head (11), a probe channel (41), a pressure unit (20), a pressure sensor (31) and a control unit (60). The first probe channel (41) is connecting the pressure unit (20) providing a vacuum with the probe head and includes the pressure sensor (31) detecting the pressure in the first probe channel (41). The first probe channel (41) has a distal end (141) leading with its lower open end (144) through the top wall (14) into the cavity (15) of the probe head. The cavity (15) comprises either an opening (16) in the side or top wall (13, 14) or a second probe channel connected with a valve. A measurement cycle comprises applying under pressure in the first probe channel (41), measuring the under pressure with the pressure sensor (31), detecting a change of under pressure increase over time (301, 401), increasing the under pressure to a predetermined maximum under pressure (303), decreasing the under pressure beyond this point in time and detecting a change of under pressure decrease over time (302, 402).

The present invention relates to a method and a device for measuring the surface viscoelasticity of a biological tissue. The method comprises the following steps: S1: driving a surface of the biological tissue to move a defined distance in the normal direction of the surface and subsequently holding the surface in place; S2: measuring the mechanical response of the surface of the biological tissue as a function of time with a sensor during the execution of step S1; and S3: outputting the viscoelastic characteristics of the surface of the biological tissue by means of a processing module based on the mechanical response detected by the sensor. The measurement method according to the present invention aims to determine the surface viscoelasticity of a biological tissue, in particular human skin, in a more scientifically sound and reliable manner.
