A method of monitoring target tissue of a biological skeletal system. The method comprises applying a mechanical excitation to a portion of the biological skeletal system to generate a mechanical wave that passes through the target tissue, the target tissue modulating the mechanical wave to produce a response of the target tissue to the mechanical wave, measuring the response; and determining structural or functional status of the target tissue from the response. A system for applying the method is also provided.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de surveiller un tissu cible d'un squelette biologique. Ce procédé consiste d'abord à appliquer à une partie du squelette biologique une excitation mécanique de façon à produire au travers du tissu cible une onde mécanique. L'onde mécanique est ainsi modulée par le tissu cible. La modulation obtenue correspond alors à la réponse du tissu cible à l'onde mécanique. Le procédé consiste ensuite à mesurer la réponse, et à déduire de la réponse l'état structurel ou fonctionnel du tissu cible. L'invention concerne également un système permettant la mise en uvre du procédé.
