Previous research on vibro-elastography used ultrasound to measure the tissue motion and system identification techniques to identify the tissue properties. This paper describes a hand-held probe with a combined vibration source and ultrasound transducer. The design uses a vibration absorption system to counter-balance the reaction forces from contact with the tissue. Simulations and experiments show a high level of vibration absorption. The first elastograms from the probe are also shown. %@ 978-3-540-29327-9
