<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic probe which prevents increase in size as well as thickness of a cable connected to a probe diagnostic device. <P>SOLUTION: The ultrasonic probe 1 includes a plurality of elements 19 for emitting/receiving an ultrasonic wave and transmitting a signal of the ultrasonic wave received. In a piezoelectric body 10, the elements 19 are divided into pairs of sections, and another section is arranged between the pair of sections. A circuit board 13 includes a plurality of receiving circuits 44 connected to the elements respectively arranged in the pair of the sections for receiving the signal transmitted from the elements 19 connected to one of the pair of the sections. Further, the ultrasonic probe 1 includes a wiring board 11 which has a first wiring board 28 connected to the plurality of elements 19, and a second wiring board 29 with flexibility connected to the first wiring board 28 while electrically connecting the elements 19 to a circuit board 13 for each of the sections, respectively, and whose second wiring board 29 connected to the pair of the sections is adjacently connected to the circuit board 13. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
