Abstract
An ultrasonic probe of embodiments includes a head part, an acoustic emission part, and a radiation part. The head part has a puncture guide configured to guide a puncture needle. The acoustic emission part is provided in the head part and configured to emit ultrasonic waves. The radiation part is configured to radiate laser beams in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction. The first direction is opposite to a direction in which the acoustic emission part emits the ultrasonic waves.

An ultrasonic probe comprising:
- a head part having a puncture guide configured to guide a puncture needle;
- an acoustic emission part provided in the head part and configured to emit ultrasonic waves;
- and
- a radiation part configured to radiate laser beams in a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction, the first direction being opposite to a direction in which the acoustic emission part emits the ultrasonic waves.
An ultrasonic probe comprising:
- a head part having a puncture guide configured to guide a puncture needle;
- an acoustic emission part provided in the head part and configured to radiate ultrasonic waves;
- and
- a radiation part configured to radiate a laser beam which is invisible light in a first direction opposite to a direction in which the acoustic emission part emits the ultrasonic waves,
- wherein the radiation part is disposed in the first direction when viewed from the radiation part and configured to radiate the laser beam toward a device configured to detect invisible light.
