<p>A head frame is configured for the head of a medical patient. It includes support for an ultrasound probe (102) for imaging and/or therapy. It includes a conformal member (106) for placement against a head surface higher than mid-forehead. The conformality serves to keep the probe in place against the head and, in some embodiments, covers at least 25 square centimeters of the surface. Also serving to keep the probe in place, a probe holder (108) and the member may have flat surfaces for mutual mating; the member may be rigid but not necessarily inflexible; the frame may symmetrically support probes on both cranial sides, the members being jointly tensioned by common headbands. The frame can have a U-shaped probe- access-providing indentation, extending to behind the ear adjacent a temporal bone window. The probe holder may be attached to the member by an XY variability-providing pivot point and have an opening spherically shaped for mating with a spherical probe adaptor made up of two mating clam-shell shaped components whose insides are application-probe-specific and further allow for Z positioning.</p> |
