Abstract
An ultrasonic endoscope includes: a distal end part body provided on a distal end side of an insertion part; and an ultrasound transducer provided on a distal end side of the distal end part body, in which an outer peripheral surface of the distal end part body is improved to increase a contact region of a proximal end part of the ultrasound transducer with a patient's body wall surface, so that it is possible to reliably perform visualization of an ultrasound image in the proximal end part.
