<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless type ultrasound probe, enabling stable ultrasound diagnosis with a puncture technique. <P>SOLUTION: In the top face of a puncture guide 2 integrated with a probe body 1, weights W are buried in a direction orthogonal to the direction of arrangement of a transducer array on both sides of the transducer array. When the ultrasound transmission/reception surface of the transducer array is set horizontal, the position of the center of gravity G is located between the center of arrangement of the transducer array and the puncture needle insertion port 8 of the puncture guide in the direction of arrangement of the transducer array, also located substantially on the centerline of arrangement of the transducer array in the direction orthogonal to the direction of arrangement of the transducer array, and located below the height H/2, which is half of the height H of a casing 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
