Abstract
An ultrasonic densitometer has opposed ultrasonic transducers with inflatable bladders containing a coupling fluid. The bladders are affixed to a housing with a simple mounting. The densitometer sizes the bladder diameter so as to be moved into contact to the patient with inflation only. The densitometer further controls the geometry of the inflated bladders so as to provide improved immobilization of the patient. The coupling fluid allows the bladder also to couple the ultrasonic energy to the patient member.
