Abstract:
An object is to simultaneously visualize a plurality of junction surfaces of a workpiece. An ultrasound imaging device serving as solution means includes a signal processing unit that causes a probe to irradiate a workpiece with an ultrasound wave having a predetermined frequency, and that performs gate processing on a reflected wave of the ultrasound wave detected by the probe so as to output a displacement of the reflected wave on two junction surfaces of the workpiece, an image generation unit that generates respective images of the two junction surfaces, based on the displacement of the respective reflected waves on the two junction surfaces, and a height adjustment unit that adjusts a height of a focus of the probe. The height adjustment unit adjusts the height of the probe so as to set the focus of the probe between the two junction surfaces.
