Ultrasound imaging probe for HIFU radiation device, and ultrasound image display device

An ultrasound imaging probe for a HIFU radiation device, comprising

• a probe distal end to and from which an ultrasound wave is transmitted and received, wherein
• in the probe distal end, one of housing surfaces is provided with a color serving as an indicator that indicates an orientation of an observation surface through which an ultrasound image is acquired;
• the probe distal end has, in the housing surfaces, a pair of housing surfaces facing opposite directions;
• one of the pair of housing surfaces and the other of the pair of housing surfaces are colored with complementary colors to each other, the complementary colors being a combination of two chromatic colors;
• and
• the ultrasound imaging probe is configured to be transported by a transport mechanism.

An ultrasound image display device for a HIFU radiation device, the ultrasound image display device comprising:

• an ultrasound imaging probe including:
• a probe distal end to and from which an ultrasound wave is transmitted and received;
• and
• a coupling bag formed of a light transmitting material and configured to retain a liquid between the probe distal end and a patient, the probe distal end being located inside the coupling bag, wherein when a surface where the ultrasound wave is transmitted and received in the probe distal end is defined as a lower surface, a front surface, a rear surface, a left side surface, and a right side surface of the probe distal end are colored with different colors from each other,
• the ultrasound imaging probe being configured to be transported by a transport mechanism,
• the device further comprising:
• an image display processing unit which generates image data based on an ultrasound wave received by the ultrasound imaging probe and displays an ultrasound image based on the image data, wherein
• the image display processing unit causes the ultrasound image displayed on the image display processing unit to include figures which indicate a correspondence between a direction on an observation surface through which the ultrasound image is acquired and a direction on the probe distal end, and
• wherein the figures displayed on the image display processing unit include a left-side boundary line and a right-side boundary line, and wherein at least one of the left-side boundary line or the right-side boundary line has a color that is the same as the color of the left side surface or the right side surface, respectively, of the surface.
