Abstract:
Various embodiments of a breast ultrasound scanning apparatus are provided. In one embodiment, a system comprises an imaging assembly comprising an ultrasound transducer, a frame housing the imaging assembly, and a membrane directly and removably coupled to the frame. In this way, the cost of performing an ultrasound scan with the imaging assembly may be reduced while the comfort for a patient being scanned with the imaging assembly is increased.
