ULTRASONIC PALPATOR, MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND KIT COMPRISING THE SAME, METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PROPERTY OF AN OBJECT, METHOD FOR OPERATING AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATING A PALPATOR
The invention relates to an ultrasonic palpator (1), a measurement system (20) and a kit comprising a palpator (1), a method (40) for determing a propery of an object (4), a method (40) for operating and a method (50) for calibrating a palpator (1). In order to facilitate an easy and precise measurement of the property, the invention provides that a coupler (3) of the palpator (1) is elastically deformable by a pressure (p), which acts between object (4) and coupler (3) during the measurement of the property, and that travel times of ultrasonic sound through the coupler (3) are used for determining the pressure (p).
