PRESSURE MEASUREMENT DEVICE FOR MEASURING PRESSURE AND/OR FOR MEASURING ELASTICITY OF A VEIN OR AN ORGAN AND FOR COMBINATION WITH AN ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT UNIT, PRESSURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, AND METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a pressure measurement device (51) for measuring pressure and/or for measuring elasticity of a vein (11), an organ, or a compartment and for combination with an ultrasonic measurement unit (46). According to the invention, a pressure sensor configured as a film pressure sensor (52) is provided, wherein a gap (56) between the films (53, 54) of the film pressure sensor (52) is filled with a non-electrolytically active liquid that is transparent to ultrasound. The invention also relates to a pressure measurement system (41) and to a method for measuring pressure and/or for measuring elasticity of a vein (11), an organ, or a compartment.
