Abstract

An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an ultrasound probe including a plurality of transducer elements arranged two-dimensionally. The plurality of transducer elements are a plurality of Row-Column Addressing transducer elements configured so that: when a first ultrasound wave is to be transmitted, the first ultrasound wave is caused to be transmitted from a first transducer element group including a plurality of transducer elements that are arranged in a direction along one axe and are connected in common to one another; when a reflected wave of the first ultrasound wave is to be received, the reflected wave of the first ultrasound wave is caused to be received by a second transducer element group including a plurality of transducer elements that are arranged in a direction along the other axe and are connected in common to one another; when a second ultrasound wave is to be transmitted, the second ultrasound wave is caused to be transmitted from the second transducer element group; and when a reflected wave of the second ultrasound wave is to be received, the reflected wave of the second ultrasound wave is caused to be received by the first transducer element group.
