ABSTRACT:
A direct water coupling device for ultrasound scanning of the human breast in a supine position. A tank, which has an open top and an open bottom and has a bottom edge which is shaped so as to conform to the shape of a human body about the perimeter of the breast area, is placed in a sealed position about the breast while the patient is in a supine position. A strapping apparatus maintains the device in position while the tank is filled with water and the ultrasound scan is performed.
