Abstract
The invention relates to an ultrasonic imaging probe for imaging a medium (), comprising two types of transducers, characterized in that the first type of transducer(s) () is dedicated to ultrasonic imaging of the medium (), and the second type of transducer(s) () is dedicated to generating a stress producing at least one transient modification of the imaged medium (), both types of transducer(s) () being able to operate at least in a so-called coupled mode where the first type of transducer(s) () operates in a synchronized way with the second type of transducer(s) () so as to image the time course of the transient modification of the medium ().
