A body-mounted support for an ultrasound transducer, comprising:

• a forearm cradle having a substantially segmented cylindrical shape and being sized to accommodate a forearm of a user, the forearm cradle comprising a dorsal surface configured to contact a dorsal portion of the user's upper forearm and a ventral surface configured to contact a ventral portion of the user's lower forearm, the forearm cradle being characterized by a longitudinal cradle axis;
• a ventral-surface strap disposed directly opposite the ventral surface and a dorsal-surface strap disposed directly opposite the dorsal surface;
• a transducer anchor comprising a backplate and retaining strap;
• and
• a beam that connects the transducer anchor to the forearm cradle, the beam being characterized by a longitudinal beam axis;
• wherein, the longitudinal beam axis is substantially parallel to the longitudinal cradle axis and disposed below, relative to the forearm cradle, the longitudinal cradle axis.
