摘要：An apparatus for supporting and facilitating accurate positioning, both linearlyand angularly of a medical device such as an ultrasound probe, a medical instrument or
an imaging device. The apparatus is capable of both gross and precise multi-directionalmovements with the medical device attached, while remaining connected to stationaryobjects such as a portable floor stand and/or operating table. After gross manualplacement and approximate positioning, the fine tune mechanism of the attached medicaldevice is locked in positioned and secured to two fixed points. Exact positioning is thenachieved by the precision movements which are available in all three linear directions androtational axes. By this arrangement which allows preattachment of the medical device orinstrument (i.e., an ultrasound probe) to the apparatus prior to positioning in the patient,quicker, more accurate and more reproducible medical device positioning and placementare achieved. In one preferred embodiment, the apparatus provides for multi-directionaladjustment including a plurality of translational adjustments and one rotationaladjustment.
