Abstract(in English) We report the application to medical ultrasound using a flexible ultrasound probe. Evaluation of presbyopia with soft probe and intraoral measurement, and imaging of phantom from curved surface with flexible linear array probe are described. For presbyopia evaluation, the rat's isolated lens was measured, and the speed of sound was calculated from the received waveform. The sound speed became faster as the old rat was. The hardness of the lens was higher as the speed of sound of the lens was higher as measured by a hardness tester. Also, when the probe was brought into contact with the eyeball of the mouse and the sound velocity of the lens was examined, the aged mouse had a high sound velocity. Intraoral measurement evaluated the thickness of gingiva and cortical bone.
