Abstract: Apparatus for making an acoustic analysis of a patient's body includes a glove device (12) with finger receivers (21-25) that receive the fingers of a caregiver, and sensors (51-53) that indicate the relative positions and orientations of the finger receivers. An acoustic transducer device (31-35) is mounted on each finger receiver, and possibly also (42) on the palm region (44) and other areas of the glove device. While transducer devices are pressed against the patient's body (62), electronic circuitry (112) generates electrical pulses that drive the transducers to transmit acoustic beams into the patient's body. A data processor (140) processes outputs from the transducers that represent acoustic echoes or transmitted beams received from regions of different densities in the patient's body. By mounting the acoustic transducer devices on finger receivers, the caregiver can rapidly and easily position the acoustic transducer devices at selected positions on the patient's body.
