    Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes: a plurality of vibrators that are arranged in a left-right direction; a support portion that supports a lower surface of the vibrator; an acoustic matching portion; and an acoustic lens, in which the support portion includes a dematching layer and a backing layer, and the dematching layer is in contact with only one of both end surfaces of the vibrator in a front-rear direction.

    Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes: a vibrator having a first surface which is located on a side on which the vibrator transmits and receives an ultrasound wave and a second surface opposite to the first surface; a support portion that supports the second surface; an acoustic lens that is disposed on a side opposite to a support portion side with respect to the vibrator; an acoustic matching portion that is disposed between the vibrator and the acoustic lens; and a connection portion that connects the support portion and at least a third acoustic matching layer of the acoustic matching portion to each other, in which the support portion, the connection portion, and the third acoustic matching layer have the same thermal conductivity and the same acoustic impedance.

    Abstract: Provided is an ultrasound transducer 1 in which a plurality of piezoelectric elements (3) are arranged on a backing material along an arrangement direction, the ultrasound transducer (1) including a plurality of acoustic matching layers (4, 5, 6, 7) laminated on each piezoelectric element (3), in which at least one acoustic matching layer (4) among the plurality of acoustic matching layers (4, 5, 6, 7) consists of at least one acoustic matching piece (4A, 4B) having a width narrower than a width of the piezoelectric element (3) in the arrangement direction.

    Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes: vibrators arranged in a left-right direction; a support portion that supports a second surface opposite to a first surface located on a side on which the vibrator transmits and receives an ultrasound wave; an acoustic lens disposed on a side opposite to a support portion side with respect to the vibrator; an acoustic matching portion disposed between the vibrator and the acoustic lens; and a connection portion that connects the support portion and at least a partial region of one or both of a first end surface and a second end surface to each other, the first end surface and the second end surface being defined by both end surfaces of the acoustic matching portion in a front-rear direction intersecting the left-right direction and an up-down direction. The support portion and the connection portion each have a thermal conductivity higher than that of the acoustic lens.
