Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A system for identifying tissue, comprising:
an ultrasound device having a transducer being configured according to computer-executable instructions for projecting ultrasound waves at tissue to cause the tissue to vibrate and produce vibration signatures of the tissue;
a vibration detector being configured according to computer-executable instructions for detecting produced vibration signatures of the tissue, the produced vibration signatures resulting from the projecting;
a database storing a plurality of vibration signatures, each of the plurality of stored vibration signatures being linked in the database with an optimal ultrasound wave parameter for a known tissue of a known identity; and
a signal analysis processor in communication with the ultrasound device, the vibration detector, and the database, the signal analysis processor being configured according to computer-executable instructions for:
comparing a first produced vibration signature of the tissue with the plurality of stored vibration signatures,
determining a degree of similarity between the first vibration signature of the tissue and each of the stored vibration signatures,
determining a match between the first vibration signature of the tissue and at least one of the plurality of stored vibration signatures when the degree of similarity is above a predetermined threshold,
adjusting the ultrasound waves of the ultrasound device for the optimal ultrasound wave parameter of the known tissue of the known identity based on the match to produce a second vibration signature of the tissue, and
identifying the tissue based on the second vibration signature of the tissue matching at least a portion of the optimal ultrasound wave parameter of the known tissue.
