摘要:
A probe for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes including backing members, a first connector bonded between the backing members and including electrodes spaced from each other in an arrangement direction, a ground connector bonded between the backing members to be spaced from the first connector, and a piezoelectric member electrically connected to the electrodes and the ground connector. A method of manufacturing the same is also disclosed. The piezoelectric member is joined to the first connector and the ground connector or to first and second connectors and the ground connector via first and second electrode layers instead of using a complicated and laborious soldering operation, thereby enabling easy connection between the piezoelectric member and the connectors while preventing deterioration in performance caused by defective connection therebetween and deterioration in performance of the piezoelectric member caused by heat during manufacture.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a probe, which is adapted to match acoustic impedances and shield undesired signals, and an ultrasound diagnostic system configured to use such a probe. The probe for conducting ultrasound diagnosis includes a transducer array for transmitting ultrasound signals to a target object and receiving the ultrasound signals reflected from the target object. The probe of the present invention also includes multiple membranes for covering the transducer array, wherein the multiple membranes include at least two membranes formed from different materials and having different thicknesses.
