<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a probe for ultrasonic diagnostic system which achieves suppression of temperature rise in the probe, reducing size and improvement of operability. <P>SOLUTION: The probe for ultrasonic diagnostic system includes: a probe body 1 including an oscillator array transmitting an ultrasonic beam based on a driving signal and receiving an ultrasonic echo by a subject while generating a received signal; a heat radiation mechanism removably mounted to the probe body 1 while discharging heat generated in the probe body 1; a radiation mechanism detection part 7 arranged in the probe body 1 while detecting presence or absence of the radiation mechanism mounted to the probe body 1; and a probe control part 17 for controlling the probe body 1 as adjusting simultaneous numerical aperture numbers of a plurality of vibrator arrays which are formed on the basis of the detection result by the radiation mechanism detection part 7. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
