Claims

[Scope of utility model registration request]

(1) A probe that transmits and receives an ultrasound beam to and from the breast; a breast applicator that is placed between the breast and the probe and transmits the ultrasound beam from the probe to the breast; In the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, the breast applicator has a breast insertion surface formed into a substantially concave spherical shape to fit the breast, and a probe abutting the breast applicator, which is formed into a substantially conical or convex spherical shape. An ultrasonic diagnostic device characterized in that it is made of a solid material and has a probe abutment surface that has a flat surface.

(2) Utility model registration The device according to claim (1), characterized in that the acoustic impedance and sound velocity of the breast applicator are set to approximately the same values as the acoustic impedance and sound velocity of the breast, respectively. Ultrasound diagnostic equipment.

(3) Utility model registration Claim (2) In the apparatus described in claim (2), the breast applicator is made of butadiene rubber as a main ingredient, mixed with 10% or less of zinc oxide, and further containing 3% or less of organic hydroxide as a vulcanizing agent. An ultrasonic diagnostic device characterized by being made of a material to which oxides are added.
