Claim:
1. An ultrasound probe for connecting to an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, comprising: an acoustic element configured to convert an electric signal and an ultrasound to each other; an electric signal processing circuit configured to be electrically connected to the acoustic element; a case configured to store the acoustic element and the electric signal processing circuit; an acoustic element board configured to electrically connect the acoustic element to the electric signal processing circuit; a partition part configured to be arranged so as to contact with the case and separate the acoustic element and the electric signal processing circuit; a circuit unit board configured to include the electric signal processing circuit mounted on the circuit unit board; a cable configured to electrically connect the electric signal processing circuit to the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and transfer a signal; and at least one arm configured to be connected to the cable and support the circuit unit board, wherein: a space on a side of the acoustic element in the case separated by the partition part is filled with a first material having lower thermal conductivity than that of a material for forming an inner wall surface of the case, the electric signal processing circuit contacts with gas, and the arm has higher thermal conductivity than that of the first material.
