Abstract
A method for checking an ultrasound probe which includes taking a measurement using the probe bonded to the part and in comparing the results with a prerecorded reference recording, and, if there is divergence, in using a tool previously used to produce the reference recording to identify whether the probe is not bonded or not working properly. Such a checking method makes it possible to check the state of the probe without having to remove it.
