The invention relates to an active helix scanner for recording information in 3D-mode on a structure that is embedded in a medium. In the course of said recording, the helix scanner is guided in a spiral over the structure. A number of embodiments of the helix scanner are presented in which one or more acoustic modules are provided that are permanently coupled to each another, are equipped with transmitters or receivers or with both, and whose acoustic irradiation spaces and receiver spaces overlap in the vicinity of the structure to be examined. The emitted signals are modulated using any modulation function. The inventive active helix scanner can be used in any location where an unidentified structure is embedded in a medium, e.g. in the field of medicine for examining the human or animal body, in the field of technical science for inspecting cast, compressed or pre-assembled parts, in pipe systems which are difficult to access or which cannot be accessed at all as well as for measuring volume and for recording the shape of a structure.

Scanneur actif hélicoïdal destiné à détecter en trois dimensions une structure encastrée dans un milieu, ledit scanneur étant guidé en spirale sur la structure. La présente invention concerne plusieurs modes de réalisation dudit scanneur, dans lesquels un ou plusieurs modules acoustiques, couplés à demeure les uns aux autres, sont équipés d'éléments émetteurs ou d'éléments récepteurs ou des deux, dont les espaces de rayonnement ultrasonore ou de réception se chevauchent dans la zone de la structure à examiner. Les signaux émis sont modulés à l'aide d'une fonction de modulation quelconque. Ledit scanneur peut être utilisé partout où une structure inconnue est encastrée dans un milieu, par exemple en médecine pour l'exploration du corps humain ou animal, en technique pour l'exploration de pièces coulées, moulées par compression, dotées d'un revêtement ou déjà montées, dans des systèmes de conduites difficilement accessibles, voire inaccessibles, pour la mesure de volumes et pour la détection de la forme d'une structure.
