Embodiment Construction

[0039] figure 1 Shown is a device 100 integrated in a device 200 created and configured to measure liver elasticity to calculate a score reflecting the state of liver disease.

[0040]In this non-limiting example, the apparatus 200 includes an elastogram probe 201 equipped with an ultrasound transducer 202 for being created and configured to transmit and receive ultrasound. In this embodiment mode, the elastogram probe 201 also includes means for generating shear waves in liver tissue. The device may be an electrical actuator 203 created and configured to generate low frequency waves. Thus, the device 200 is created and configured to measure physical parameters, eg, parameters related to inflammation and / or fibrosis and parameters related to steatosis.

[0041] As an example, a parameter related to fibrosis may be liver elasticity. This elasticity measure constitutes a pathological marker of liver tissue.

[0042] The parameter associated with steatosis may be a measure of...

Abstract

The invention in particular relates to a device (100) for calculating a score (205) reflecting the state of a hepatic lesion, said calculating device (100) being created and configured to calculate the score (205) by means of the following physical parameters:-a parameter relating to inflammation and / or fibrosis,-a parameter relating to fatty degeneration.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application for an invention patent application with an application date of June 30, 2015, an application number of 201510387108.5, and an invention name of "non-invasive detection device for liver lesions". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a non-invasive detection device for liver lesions using ultrasonic waves and shear waves. The device can be used in humans and livestock, and for example, to detect liver lesions of the fatty liver type caused by alcoholism (also known by the English acronym ASH (Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis)) or non-alcoholic liver disease Lesions (the English acronym NASH (Non Alcoholic Steato Hepatitis) is also known). The present invention also relates to scores reflecting liver lesions. Background technique [0003] Traditionally, chronic diseases of liver tissue produce liver pathologies such as fibrosis. Fibrosis is the healing process of liver tissue fibers caused by inflammation. The evolu...
