Abstract
A test device of an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to detect a waveform of a reflected wave that is obtained by reflection of an ultrasonic wave, which has been transmitted from an ultrasonic probe and has passed through an acoustic coupling material in close contact with an acoustic radiation surface of the ultrasonic probe, the reflected wave having passed through the acoustic coupling material before the detection of the waveform, and test a performance of the ultrasonic probe on the basis of the detected waveform.
