Abstract: An ultrasound transducer probe holder device comprising a support piece; a base connected to the support piece; a cylindrical orifice within the support piece; a housing extending from the orifice and defining a cavity; a sleeve for insertion within the orifice; and an adjustment screw fitted in the housing for contact with the sleeve. The device supports and maintains the position of an ultrasound transducer probe to provide for a hands-free application of the device during different modalities of exercise required to instigate hyperemic conditions while providing x, y, z, positional adjustments of the probe relative to the patient.

Abstract: Disclosed is an imaging transducer holding device for use with a patient that includes a holding structure which holds an imaging transducer and an attachment portion which attaches the holding structure to a patient. The holding device is useful for assessing the condition of a patient's blood vessel via ultrasound imaging. Also disclosed are a system and a method for imaging the vascular condition of a patient, the system containing the holding device and an imaging transducer.
