Abstract

PURPOSE:To properly take the image of an objective region and to properly take out a tissue from the objective region when a soaking method and puncture are performed while an ultrasonic wave is observed, by mounting an ultrasonic probe main body to a coupler equipped with a water bag and a puncture needle guide means. CONSTITUTION:An ultrasonic probe 1 is mounted on a coupler 2 having a water bag 3 and a puncture needle guide adaptor 4 mounted thereto to form integrated constitution and the exposed part of the water bag 3 is applied to the surface region of the body. A puncture needle is introduced in a puncture needle guiding groove 4c1 or 4c2 while a tomographic image is observed by an electronic scanning type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus main body and thrust in an objective region to take out tissue. When a soaking method is carried out and puncture is performed while an ultrasonic image is observed, the stability of the water bag 3 is secured and, since the puncture needle guide adaptor 4 is simply and freely detachable with respect to the guide groove 2b of the coupler 2, the puncture needle guide adaptor 4 can be simply detached when no puncture is performed and the coupler 2 becomes free from a protruding part and operability by a single hand is enhanced.

Then, for example, a method of electronically shifting the transmitting point position of the ultrasound beam by sequentially shifting the pitch by one oscillator and excitation so that the position of each unit element changes one after another. It is. Then, so that the ultrasound beam is focused as a beam, the excited ultrasound imagers are shifted in excitation timing between those located in the center of the beam and those located on the sides. The reflected ultrasound waves are focused (electronically focused) using the phase difference between the sound waves generated by the ultrasound transducer. Then, the reflected ultrasonic waves are received by the same vibration as the one that was excited and converted into electrical signals, and the echo information from each transmitted and received wave is formed as a tomographic image, which is displayed on a cathode ray tube or the like.
