Summary:To suppress the temperature rise of a subject contact part.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic probe according to an embodiment comprises: a subject contact part comprising an ultrasonic vibrator which via a subject contact face in contact with a subject on an ultrasonic transmission and reception side, transmits and receives the ultrasonic waves to and from the subject; a first latent heat storage agent having a phase transition temperature higher than a temperature to be reached by the subject contact part; and a heat-transfer element which is capable of heat transfer between the subject contact part and the first latent heat storage agent by thermally interconnecting the subject contact part and the first latent heat storage agent.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】被検体接触部の温度上昇を抑制することである。【解決手段】実施形態に係る超音波プローブは、超音波の送受信側に被検体と接触する被検体接触面を介して、前記被検体に前記超音波を送受信する超音波振動子を有する被検体接触部と、 前記被検体接触部が達する温度より高い相転移温度を有する第１蓄熱潜熱剤と、前記被検体接触部と前記第１蓄熱潜熱剤との間を熱的に接続し、前記被検体接触部と第１蓄熱潜熱剤との間で熱交換可能な熱交換素子と、を備える。【選択図】図１
