Ultrasound imaging probe, manufacturing method thereof, and ultrasonic imaging device

A manufacturing method of an ultrasound imaging probe comprising:

• (a) a process of preparing a substrate which includes an ultrasonic transducer for detecting an ultrasonic wave formed thereon and a through hole passing through front and rear surfaces;
• (b) a process of fixing the substrate to the inside of a tubular housing after the process (a);
• (c) a process of arranging a lens within the through hole of the substrate after the process (b);
• and,
• (d) a process of fixing an optical fiber for oscillating a laser to the inside of the housing after the process (c), wherein
• the substrate and the optical fiber are fixed to the housing.

An ultrasonic imaging device comprising:

• an ultrasound imaging probe which includes a substrate in which an ultrasonic transducer for detecting an ultrasonic wave is formed thereon, and an optical fiber which oscillates a laser;
• a laser control part which controls the laser;
• a receiving part which receives a signal which is converted from the ultrasonic wave by the ultrasonic transducer;
• an image processing part which performs image processing on the signal received by the receiving part;
• and
• a display part which displays images processed by the image processing part, wherein
• in the ultrasound imaging probe, the laser is condensed by a lens arranged within a through hole included by the substrate, and the substrate and the optical fiber are fixed to a tubular housing.
