PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ultrasonic diagnosis and treatment equipment capable of reducing a cost for examination and monitoring, and a burden on a patient with a thin plate-like ultrasonic probe having flexibility, and capable of performing both diagnosis and treatment by emitting ultrasonic waves for diagnosis and treatment from a common ultrasonic vibrator in the ultrasonic probe.SOLUTION: Ultrasonic diagnosis equipment includes: a thin plate-like ultrasonic probe 2 having flexibility that can be stuck on a curved surface of an object to be examined and that emits ultrasonic waves to the object to be examined, and detects the ultrasonic waves reflected by the object to be examined; an ultrasonic vibrator disposed at the ultrasonic probe for mutually converting an electric signal and an ultrasonic signal; an ultrasonic drive part 3 for driving the ultrasonic probe and causing it to radiate ultrasonic waves; and a reception part 3 for amplifying and outputting a signal of reflected ultrasonic waves detected by the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic vibrator can radiate both ultrasonic waves for diagnosis whose frequency is 1-20 MHz and ultrasonic waves for treatment whose frequency is 100-900 kHz. |
