Abstract
An assembly for mounting an ultrasound transmitter is provided. The assembly comprises an assembly body having a proximal end, a distal end and perimeters which are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the assembly body. The assembly body includes a proximal mount section with a proximal outer perimeter and a proximal inner perimeter which is smaller than the proximal outer perimeter. The assembly body also includes a distal mount section with a distal outer perimeter and a distal inner perimeter which is smaller than the distal outer perimeter. A loop shaped ultrasound transducer abuts the proximal mount section and the distal mount section.
