Today, Ultrasounds Medical imaging is based on analysis of reflected Ultrasound waves across tissues. This methodology in spite of being largely implemented and offering several advantages such as non-invasiveness and safety presents a few drawbacks such as limited useful depth of analysis and image quality is deteriorated by artifacts linked to multiple reflections.The new methodology will use refracted (penetrating) ultrasound waves. The volume to be analyzed is subjected to a strong but harmless Magnetic Field and then it is scanned by Focused Ultrasound waves. Magnetic Field generated by vibrating micro-volumes of tissues are detected by magnetic sensors like search coils or Anisotropic Magneto-Resistor (AMR).The useful depth of analysis is significantly increased and refracted Ultrasound waves will "follow" paths with lower reflection coefficient e.g. blood vessels providing a complementary analysis to present systems. Image quality will not suffer of most reflection waves artifacts.
