An ultrasound probe arrangement comprises a holder for application to a surface, a housing mounted over the holder and a probe carrier. The housing has an inner guide surface which comprises a portion of a sphere and the probe carrier comprises a disc having an outer guide surface around the outer rim of the disc which comprises a portion of sphere. The probe carrier is slidable within the housing with the inner and outer guide surfaces in contact. An ultrasound probe is carried by the probe carrier and makes contact with the surface, e.g. skin.This arrangement enables the probe to be held in a desired orientation so that a clinician can work hands-free. The disc design enables different probe designs to be used with the same basic holder and housing design.
