An ultrasound probe includes a transducer array including vibrators arrayed in an azimuth direction each of which constitutes a single channel and has first transducer centrally located in an elevation direction and second transducers located on both sides of the first transducer, a first transmission and reception section for the first transducers of the respective channels, a second transmission and reception section for the second transducers of the respective channels, and a controller for controlling the first transmission and reception section to obtain reception data for B mode image through a simultaneous aperture for B mode image while controlling the first transmission and reception section and the second transmission and reception section to obtain reception data for sound speed through a simultaneous aperture for sound speed that is broader than the simultaneous aperture for B mode image. |
