To accurately inspect the performance of an ultrasonic probe by a simple device.SOLUTION: An inspection device comprises a detection unit and an inspection unit. The detection unit detects the waveform of a reflection wave having passed through an acoustic coupling member, the reflection wave having been obtained by transmitting an ultrasonic wave by the ultrasonic probe, causing the ultrasonic wave to pass through an acoustic coupling member adhering to the acoustic radiation surface of the ultrasonic probe, and reflecting the ultrasonic wave. The inspection unit inspects the performance of the ultrasonic probe on the basis of the waveform detected by the detection unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】簡素な装置で超音波プローブの性能を精度よく検査できるようにすることである。【解決手段】検出部と、検査部と、を持つ。検出部は、超音波プローブにより送信され、前記超音波プローブの音響放射面に密着された音響結合材を通過した超音波が反射し、前記音響結合材を通過した反射波の波形を検出する。検査部は、前記検出部により検出された波形に基づいて、前記超音波プローブの性能を検査する。【選択図】図１
