Embodiment Construction

[0029] Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, thicknesses may be exaggerated to clarify layers and regions. Exemplary embodiments are susceptible to various modifications and may be embodied in many different forms. When a layer, film, region, or panel is referred to as being "on" another element, it can be directly on the other layer or substrate, or intervening layers may also be present. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout the specification and drawings. Like reference numerals are used to denote elements that are substantially the same as each other, and thus, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Abstract

Provided are a wideband ultrasonic probe for a photoacoustic image and an ultrasound image. The wideband ultrasonic probe includes a first ultrasonic transducer array and a second ultrasonic transducer array that are disposed on a substrate; and a laser apparatus that comprises a laser irradiator configured to irradiate a laser light onto a diagnosis object, wherein the first ultrasonic transducer array receives a first ultrasonic wave which is generated from the diagnosis object on which the laser light is irradiated, and the second ultrasonic transducer array transmits a high frequency bandwidth ultrasonic wave toward the diagnosis object and receives a second ultrasonic wave that is reflected by the diagnosis object.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0126103 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 22, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Exemplary embodiments relate to an ultrasound probe that facilitates correct diagnosis by realizing a functional image on a morphological image by synthesizing an ultrasound image with a photoacoustic image. Background technique [0004] The ultrasonic probe is used to analyze the morphological properties of organs and the texture of the human body by realizing an image by receiving an echo signal reflected by the human body after transmitting ultrasonic waves. In the case of diagnosing shallow texture depths (e.g., breasts), high-resolution images are achieved by using detectors with high-frequency bandwidth (e.g., 5-13 MHz), while in the case of diagnosing deep In t...
