摘要： A self-contained ultrasound patch assembly for detecting fluid flow in a vessel includes piezo elements that can transmit ultrasonic energy and detect echo signals. A flex module has two support portions connected to respective ones of the elements with a hinged portion coupled to the support portions, allowing them to be positioned angularly relative to each other. Electronics that direct the elements to transmit ultrasonic energy and process detected echo signals are in communication with the elements through the flex module. A transducer frame includes an alignment portion engaging a flex module alignment portion to retain the flex module in an aligned position. The frame supports the elements at a fixed angular position with respect to each other. A housing encloses the electronics and frame, and fixedly retains the frame to position the elements to transmit toward a bottom surface and away from a top surface of the housing.
