Claim 0:
1. An ultrasound system in which an ultrasound probe and an information terminal are wirelessly connected,
wherein the ultrasound probe includes
a transducer array,
a probe-side processor that causes the transducer array to transmit an ultrasonic wave, performs reception focusing processing on a reception signal output from the transducer array that has received an ultrasound echo to generate a sound ray signal, and generates image information data on the basis of the sound ray signal generated,
a probe-side cine-memory that stores the image information data generated by the probe-side processor, and
a probe-side wireless communication circuit that wirelessly transmits the image information data generated by the probe-side processor,

the information terminal includes
a monitor,
an input device,
a terminal-side wireless communication circuit that receives the image information data wirelessly transmitted from the probe-side wireless communication circuit, and
a terminal-side processor that displays an ultrasound image on the monitor on the basis of the image information data received by the terminal-side wireless communication circuit, and

in a case where a freeze mode is designated on the basis of an instruction input from the input device and transmission of the ultrasonic wave from the transducer array is stopped, the image information data of past frames stored in the probe-side cine-memory is wirelessly transmitted from the probe-side wireless communication circuit, and the terminal-side processor displays the ultrasound image on the monitor on the basis of the image information data of the past frames wirelessly transmitted from the probe-side wireless communication circuit after transmission of the ultrasonic wave from the transducer array is stopped and received by the terminal-side wireless communication circuit.
