Zusammenfassung:The present description relates to an ultrasound imaging device (100) comprising a set (101) of ultrasound transducers and an acoustic coupling layer (140) covering said set (101) of ultrasound transducers, wherein the acoustic coupling layer (140) is made of an activatable polymer material configured to exhibit a first Young's modulus during a phase of acquiring an ultrasound image and a second Young's modulus greater than the first Young's modulus outside of said acquiring phase.
