Abstract
In an ultrasonic probe including an element partfor transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, a relay cableconnected to the element partand an oscillation mechanism part for oscillating the element part, a cross section of the relay cable, which is taken perpendicularly to a rotation axisof the oscillation that is provided to the element partby the oscillation mechanism part, has at least two arc-shaped parts smoothly connected each other, more specifically, S-shape arc-shaped parts or reversed S-shaped parts. In addition, the relay cableis drawn from the surface of the element partfacing the rotation axis. In this manner, the stress applied to the relay cableduring the oscillation of the element partcan be dispersed, thereby improving durability of the relay cable
