<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus continuously determining a risk generation even if a risk determination system in an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus body breaks down. <P>SOLUTION: This apparatus is provided with: an ultrasonic probe 100 detachably connected to the apparatus body 300 by a connector 120 and vibrates a plurality of transducers 101 to generate ultrasonic waves; a temperature sensor 102 for measuring the temperature of the section of the transducers 101, a temperature prediction section 201 and a temperature prediction section 306 for predicting the temperature rise of the periphery of the transducers 101 based on the temperature information; a temperature rise determination section 202 and a temperature rise determination section 307 for determining whether or not there is a risk of heat production based on the predicted temperature rise; and a comparative determination section 308 comparing the respective determination results and determining the risk/no risk of the heat production; wherein the temperature prediction section 306 and the temperature rise determination section 307 are disposed in the apparatus body 300 and the temperature prediction section 201 and the temperature rise determination section are disposed inside the ultrasonic probe 100. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
