PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biplane ultrasonic probe for which the degree of freedom on photographing is high. SOLUTION: For the ultrasonic probe having two ultrasonic transducer arrays (222 and 224) for respectively scanning two scanning surfaces (212 and 214) by ultrasonic waves, one of the two ultrasonic transducer arrays is made posture-variable relatively to the other (600 and 700). The scanning surface of one ultrasonic transducer array orthogonally crosses the scanning surface of the other ultrasonic transducer array. The crossing position of the scanning surface of one ultrasonic transducer array and the scanning surface of the other ultrasonic transducer array is changed accompanying the posture change of one ultrasonic transducer array.
