The present invention relates to a portable ultrasound monitoring system comprising a portable ultrasound system which is in turn provided with an array of electroacoustic transducers, each one of which emitting ultrasound waves when powered with an electric excitation signal and generating an electric reception signal when impinged by an ultrasound wave or pulse generated for example by the reflection of ultrasound waves emitted therefrom. There are also provided means for generating said electric excitation signals, as well as means for receiving said electric reception signals and processing and storage units for said electric excitation and reception signals. Moreover there are provided communication means for the transmission and reception of the electric excitation and reception signals between the portable ultrasound system and at least a remote unit for displaying, storing and further processing, as well as power supply means for the whole portable ultrasound system. Moreover there are provided supporting means in combination with the portable ultrasound system, which are composed of means for temporary fastening to the body.
