ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND ITS HOLDER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a holder for storing an ultrasonic probe of a transportable ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. SOLUTION: The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 10 comprises a body 12 to which a display unit 15 for displaying an ultrasound image is integrated, an operation panel 14 for operating the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 10, and a connecting frame 30 for connecting the body 12 and the operation panel 14. To the connecting frame 30, the holder 40 is attached. The holder 40 comprises a probe receptacle 42 and a jelly container receptacle 44. Also, a neck portion 46 is formed between the probe receptacle 42 and the jelly container receptacle 44.Because the holder 40 is equipped on the connecting frame 30, the holder 40 does not move, even when the body 12 and the operation panel 14 are pivoted, and can stably hold the ultrasonic probe and an echo jelly container.
