Abstract

Disclosed are an ultrasonic medium supplying jig and a fast ultrasonic scanning apparatus with a circulating medium, in which the medium is continuously supplied to between an ultrasonic probe and a to-be-scanned object to prevent the to-be-scanned object from being submerged in water, thereby enabling a stable ultrasound image to be obtained while achieving fast scanning. The disclosed ultrasonic medium supplying jig may include jig for supplying an ultrasonic medium, the medium supplying jig including: a main body having a space provided to open at least one surface thereof to form a receiving part in which one end including a sensing surface of an ultrasonic probe is received; a medium inlet port through which the ultrasonic medium is injected; a first medium outlet port provided at a position of the main body, where a sensing surface of the ultrasonic probe is disposed, to supply the ultrasonic medium; and a medium supply line provided to transfer the ultrasonic medium by connecting the medium inlet port with the first medium outlet port; and a second medium outlet port being in communication with the medium supply line and formed on the outer surface of the main body while pen…
