    • The present invention relates to an intervention device (20) for surgically intervening a target tissue of a human or animal body, comprising a penetrating body (100) arranged to be advanced into the target tissue along an advancing axis (Z+). The penetrating body (100) has an outer surface with a plurality of electrodes (e1, e2, e3, e4, . . . , eN) insulated from each other. More particularly, the penetrating body comprises a substrate base (5), a number N>1 of electrically conducting coatings (cce1, cce2, cce3, cce4, . . . , cceN) and a number M=N−1 electrically insulating coatings (ici1, ici2, ici3, . . . , iciM). A 1st electrically conducting coating (cce1) at least partially covers the substrate base (5), whereas each mth electrically insulating coating of the M electrically insulating coatings ici1, ici2, ici3, ici4, . . . , iciM) partially covers the mth electrically conducting coating of the N electrically conducting coatings (cce1, cce2, cce3, cce4, . . . ) and each nth electrically conducting coating of the N electrically conducting coatings (cce2, cce3, cce4) partially covers the (n−1)th electrically insulating coating (ici1, ici2, ici3). Thus, the outer surface of the penetrating body (100) comprises at least L=N+M sections (e1, i1, e2, i2, e3, i3, e4) alternatingly formed by the N electrically conducting coatings (cce1, cce2, cce3, cce4, . . . , cceN) and the M electrically insulating coatings (ici1, ici2, ici3, . . . , iciM). The present invention also relates to a an intervention system comprising a power supply unit and an intervention device (20; 200) as above described, wherein at least one (cce1) of the N electrically conducting coatings (cce1, cce2, cce3, cce4, . . . , cceN) of the intervention device (20; 200) is connected to the power supply unit such that it forms a cathode and at least another one (cce2, cce3, cce4) of the N electrically conducting coatings is an anode.

    • The invention relates to a method for determining and particularly imaging sound speed in an object by means of pulse-echo ultrasound, comprising the steps of: transmitting by means of an ultrasound probe (1) at least a first ultrasound pulse (10) in a first direction (φ0) and a second ultrasound pulse (20) in a different second direction (φ) into an object (O) to be imaged, so that said first ultrasound pulse (10) is backscattered in said object towards said ultrasound probe in the form of first ultrasound pulse echoes (11), and so that said second ultrasound pulse (20) is backscattered in said object towards said ultrasound probe in the form of second ultrasound pulse echoes (21), detecting said backscattered first ultrasound pulse echoes (11) and said backscattered second ultrasound pulse echoes (21) with said ultrasound probe (1), reconstructing from said detected backscattered first ultrasound pulse echoes (11) a first image of first local echoes (5) and from said detected backscattered second ultrasound pulse echoes (21) a second image of second local echoes (7), wherein said images lie in an image plane spanned by said directions (φ0, φ), determining from said reconstructed images the respective resulting local echo phase shift Δτ(x, z, φ, φ0) corresponding to the difference in echo time (t) between the respective first local echo and the corresponding second local echo relative to the case of an assumed constant sound speed, and determining the local sound speed c(x, z) in said object for at least a region of said image plane in said object from said local echo phase shift Δτ(x, z, φ, φ0). Further, the invention relates to a corresponding computer program and a system.
