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. La présente description concerne un dispositif d'imagerie ultrasonore (100) comportant un ensemble (101) de transducteurs ultrasonores et une couche de couplage acoustique (140) revêtant ledit ensemble (101) de transducteurs ultrasonores, dans lequel la couche de couplage acoustique (140) est en un matériau polymère activable configuré pour présenter un premier module de Young lors d'une phase d'acquisition d'une image ultrasonoreet un deuxième module de Young supérieur au premier module de Young en dehors de ladite phase d'acquisition.
