Abstract
A body-mounted support for an ultrasound transducer may include a forearm cradle, a transducer anchor and a beam that connects the transducer anchor to the forearm cradle. The forearm cradle may have the shape of a generally segmented cylinder, and it may be sized to accommodate a forearm of a user. The forearm cradle may include a dorsal portion configured to contact a dorsal portion of the user's upper forearm and a ventral portion configured to contact a ventral portion of the user's lower forearm. The forearm cradle may be characterized by a longitudinal cradle axis. The transducer anchor may include a backplate and retaining strap. The beam may also be characterized by a longitudinal beam axis. The longitudinal beam axis may be generally parallel to the longitudinal cradle axis and may be disposed below, relative to the forearm cradle, the longitudinal cradle axis.
