Ultrasound apparatus and method with a meltable coupling means

The device has an ultrasonic probe with a sound coupling surface (28), where the probe is arranged on an upper surface (30) of a test item and displaceable along the surface. A coupling body (16) e.g. ice block, is arranged between the coupling surface and the upper surface, where the body is displa...

Zusammenfassung:The device has an ultrasonic probe with a sound coupling surface (28), where the probe is arranged on an upper surface (30) of a test item and displaceable along the surface. A coupling body (16) e.g. ice block, is arranged between the coupling surface and the upper surface, where the body is displaceable together with the probe. The body melts down to a fluid coupling medium (32, 34) e.g. water, on the coupling and the upper surfaces. An independent claim is also included for an ultrasound testing method.
