Provided are an ultrasound system and a method of detecting a pressure applied to an object through an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound system includes: an ultrasound data acquiring unit configured to acquire, by using an ultrasound probe including a strain gauge that is strained by a pressure applied thereto and has a damping factor and an elasticity factor, ultrasound data corresponding to an object; and a processor configured to generate an ultrasound image by using the ultrasound data, calculate a strain rate of the strain gauge caused by the pressure by using the ultrasound image, and detect the pressure by using the strain rate calculated.

Ultrasound system and method of detecting pressure applied to object

An ultrasound backing element, a transducer including the ultrasound backing element, and an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound backing element includes: a first concave/convex unit formed of a material capable of absorbing ultrasonic waves, and comprising a first surface and a second surface that are not in parallel with each other; and a first electrode unit comprising a first electrode and a second electrode that are respectively disposed on the first surface and the second surface.
