Instrument having enhanced ultrasound visibility |
| abstract |
An instrument ( 10 ) for ultrasonic imaging comprises a probe ( 12 ) for insertion into a material ( 62 ) containing a liquid. The probe ( 12 ) has a coating comprising a carrier material ( 30 ) and a quantity of reactive material ( 32 ) which, upon contacting a reactant produce a quantity of bubbles ( 62 ) adjacent the coating for reflecting ultrasonic energy. In one application the probe ( 12 ) comprises a biopsy needle and the coating is positioned towards a sharp distal end thereof ( 14 a ) thereby to facilitate the guiding and positioning thereof. Alternatively, the coating can be provided along the entire length of the instrument ( 10 ) or at descrete portions along its length. |
