Ultrasound probe, control method of ultrasound probe, and ultrasound probe inspection system

Abstract

An ultrasound probe includes a housing; a transducer array housed in the housing; a transmission/reception unit which is housed in the housing, transmits ultrasonic wave from the transducer array, and generates a sound ray signal on the basis of a reception signal acquired by the transducer array; an image information data generation unit which is housed in the housing, and generates image information data on the basis of the sound ray signal generated by the transmission/reception unit; a wireless communication unit which is housed in the housing, and wirelessly transmits the image information data generated by the image information data generation unit; a light emission unit which is housed in the housing, and emits light to an outside of the housing; and a light emission control unit which is housed in the housing, and causes the light emission unit to emit light in synchronization with a transmission timing of the ultrasonic wave by the transmission/reception unit in a case of a manufacturing inspection.
