Abstract
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic imaging system and a respective method. The ultrasonic imaging system includes a scanning assembly including an ultrasonic transducer, an adjustable arm, one end of the adjustable arm connected to the scanning assembly, and a counterweight, connected to the other end of the adjustable arm by means of a cable. The ultrasonic imaging system includes a transmission assembly comprising a drive unit and a transmission unit, the drive unit being capable of acting on the counterweight by means of the transmission unit so as to adjust a pressure applied by the scanning assembly to the tissue to be scanned and a control unit, sending a drive signal to the drive unit, and acquiring, on the basis of the drive signal, the pressure applied by the scanning assembly to the tissue to be scanned.
