ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound probe of the present invention comprises a rod-like grip section constituting a rear section of the probe, a rod-like insertion section constituting a forward section of the probe and having a piezoelectric element array at a forward end and a slot structure formed parallel to an axis of the grip section. A centesis instrument is put on the slot. This specific arrangement allows the axis of the centesis instrument to be less displaced relative to the axis of the probe, so that the centesis instrument is not unsteady relative to the probe. Further, the centesis instrument ensures readier attachment and detachment to and from the probe simply by putting a body of the instrument on the probe.
