Disclosed herein is an ultrasound probe including a transducer array configured to generate ultrasonic waves, an integrated circuit disposed on a back surface of the transducer array by using an adhesive member, a printed circuit board connected to the integrated circuit and configured to output a signal to the integrated circuit, and a pad bridge disposed on front surfaces of the printed circuit board and the integrated circuit by using the adhesive member and configured to electrically connect the printed circuit board with the integrated circuit. An area of a region of the ultrasound probe contacting the human body may be reduced without reducing the size of the transducer array, and the integrated circuit and the printed circuit board may be integrally connected by using the adhesive member.

Ultrasound probe and manufacturing method thereof

An ultrasonic probe includes a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) array configured to generate ultrasonic waves, an integrated circuit to which the cMUT array is bonded, and a flexible printed circuit board having one end connected to the integrated circuit to output signals to the integrated circuit, the integrated circuit including pads provided on the integrated circuit and an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) provided on the pads, and the one end of the flexible printed circuit board being connected to the ACF to thereby connect the flexible printed circuit board to the integrated circuit.

Ultrasonic probe and manufacturing method thereof

A probe includes a transducer array including a transducer element, the transducer element including cells connected in parallel to each other, and a current detector configured to apply a voltage to the cells of the transducer element, or to output an electrical signal based on currents output from the cells.

Probe, ultrasound imaging apparatus, and control method of the ultrasound imaging apparatus

A fiber scanning optical probe including: an optical fiber; an actuator that drives the optical fiber in two directions; and an asymmetric structure that is disposed at one end of the optical fiber.
