SYSTEM FOR GUIDING A PROBE OVER THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN OF A PATIENT OR AN ANIMAL

The invention relates to a system for guiding a probe over the surface of the skin of a patient. Performing measurements with ultrasound techniques for small structures such as blood vessels need well-defined spatial relationship between the measuring probe and the tissue which has to be examined.

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a system for guiding a probe over the surface of the skin of a patient. Performing measurements with ultrasound techniques for small structures such as blood vessels need well-defined spatial relationship between the measuring probe and the tissue which has to be examined. The invention seeks to ensure a movement of the measuring probe in a controlled and precise way over the skin. Therefore, a system 1 is suggested which comprises a probe holder 2 to which a probe 4 is rigidly attachable. The probe holder 2 is moveable along at least one rail 5, 5'. The rail can be wrapped around the patient 3 or a body part 7 of the patient or the animal. L'invention concerne un système servant à guider une sonde au-dessus de la surface de la peau d'un patient. La prise de mesures au moyen de techniques ultrasons pour de petites structures, telles que des vaisseaux sanguins, nécessite un rapport spatial bien défini entre la sonde de mesure et le tissu devant être examiné. Elle vise à assurer un déplacement contrôlé et précis de la sonde de mesure au-dessus de la peau. De ce fait, elle concerne un système (1) comprenant un support de sonde (2) auquel une sonde (4) peut être fixée de façon rigide. Ce support de sonde (2) est mobile le long d'au moins un rail (5, 5'). Ce rail peut être enveloppé autour du patient (3) ou d'une partie corporelle (7) de ce patient humain ou animal.
