Abstract:
Provided is an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound probe may maintain temperature of an acoustic module predetermined temperature or less even when an image processor is disposed in a rear direction of the acoustic module inside a housing. For purpose, the ultrasound probe may include at least one anisotropic heat conductive member such that heat from the acoustic module is transferred to a first heat sink member disposed in a rear direction of the image processor.
