An ultrasonic device is provided for use on a biological tissue, and includes a base assembly on which a vibrator is mounted, and an ultrasonic probe. The base assembly includes an annular base having at least two pairs of abutment protrusions for abutting against the biological tissue, and an installation base coaxially disposed on and rotatable relative to the annular base between two test positions. The installation base has a through hold in which the ultrasonic probe is inserted.

Ultrasonic probe holder with abutment protrusions and vibrator for ultrasonic device and method for measuring elasticity of tissue

A measuring system for measuring elasticity of biological tissue includes a mobile device and a measuring apparatus including a conducting seat and a measuring device. The conducting seat is for detachable mounting of the mobile device therein, and is adapted to abut against the biological tissue for conducting vibrations produced by the mobile device to the biological tissue to cause the biological tissue to vibrate. The measuring device includes an ultrasonic transducer to emit an ultrasound signal to the biological tissue and an elasticity analyzer to analyze an ultrasound echo signal that results from reflection of the ultrasound signal by the biological tissue which is vibrating to obtain an elasticity data of the biological tissue.
