A probe includes: a piezoelectric layer to generate ultrasonic waves, a backing layer to absorb ultrasonic waves generated at the piezoelectric layer and proceeding toward a rear, a reflective layer occupying an area smaller than an area of the piezoelectric layer and provided in between the piezoelectric layer and the backing layer to amplify the ultrasonic waves generated at the piezoelectric layer, and a lens layer to focus the ultrasonic waves proceeding toward a front of the piezoelectric layer at a certain point.

Probe and manufacturing method thereof

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.
