Abstract: An ultrasonic probe includes a transducer; a pulser; an amplifier; a wireless transmitter; temperature detectors at two or more locations from among a location of the pulser, a location of the amplifier, and a location of the wireless transmitter; and a processor comparing temperatures detected by the temperature detectors with first temperature thresholds set for the temperature detectors, and, when one or more temperature detectors detect temperatures that exceed corresponding first temperature thresholds, selecting any one of low power consumption operating modes based on which temperature detectors are the one or more temperature detectors detecting the temperatures that exceed corresponding first temperature thresholds, and switching an operating mode of each of one or more from among the pulser, the amplifier, and the wireless transmitter from a normal operating mode to the selected low power consumption operating mode.

Abstract: An ultrasonic image generation system having an ultrasonic unit configured to transmit and receive an ultrasonic signal, a drive control/signal processing unit configured to repeat processing to generate an ultrasonic image signal by processing a received signal of the ultrasonic unit as well as to generate a drive signal that is supplied to the ultrasonic unit; and a display unit configured to repeat displaying an ultrasonic image based on the ultrasonic image signal, to stop updating of a displayed image in response to a stop signal input, and to resume updating of the displayed image in response to a start signal input, wherein the drive control/signal processing unit stops at least part of an operation in response to the stop signal input and resumes the stopped operation in response to the start signal input.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe includes a wireless transmitter-receiver configured to perform communication through a wireless network having a plurality of channels and obtain identification information of apparatuses connected to the wireless network from the apparatuses; a memory configured to store identification information for identifying other ultrasonic probes from among the apparatuses; and a processor configured to count other ultrasonic probes connected with the wireless network on a per channel basis with respect to the plurality of channels based on the identification information obtained by the wireless transmitter-receiver and the identification information stored in the memory, and determine to connect to a channel at which the number of the other ultrasonic probes counted by the processor is smallest.
