Abstract

A VIBER vibrating mechanism (31) is coupled to a cannula or needle (30) and op-erates to provide flexural vibrations to move the needle (30) and to enable detection via the scanner (22) of the position of a needle within a body of interest by a color ultrasound imaging system (24) having a display (25). The VIBER
mechanism exhibits multiple modes of oscilla-tion when energized. The VIBER mechanism is excited to exhibit predetermined oscillations at a given frequency in the X-plane, a prede-termined oscillation at another frequency in the Y-plane and another frequency of oscillation in the Z-plane. The frequency of oscillation is a function of the entire system, namely the VIBER mechanism and the tissue. The reso-nant frequency is preferred as it provides larger vibrational amplitudes. The vibration in the representative planes causes a typical conven-tional color ultrasound imaging system to dis-play the vibration or movement by means of a color variation.
