Claim 8:
9. An ultrasound elasticity detecting apparatus, comprising an ultrasound probe, a transmitting/receiving controller and a data processor;
the ultrasound probe comprising a plurality of transducers configured to transmit ultrasound waves, the transducers being at least configured to transmit ultrasound waves to a region of interest that are focused on at least two focus points in an acoustic field, the ultrasound waves driving a tissue so as to form a shear wave zone with shear wave sources corresponding to the at least two focus points that propagates in a direction perpendicular to a transmission direction of the ultrasound waves; the ultrasound probe being further configured to continuously transmit detection ultrasound waves for a predetermined duration to a propagation path of the shear wave zone and receive echoes of the detection ultrasound waves, wherein the at least two focus points are disposed sequentially in the transmission direction of the ultrasound waves;
the transmitting/receiving controller being configured to generate transmission parameters and output the transmission parameters to the ultrasound probe, the transmission parameters comprising parameters of the ultrasound waves or parameters of the detection ultrasound waves; and
the data processor being configured to calculate an elastic characteristic based on the echoes of the detection ultrasound waves.
