Abstract: A probe device is disclosed. The probe device comprises: a matrix array analog front end (AFE) comprising a plurality of cells and outputting an electrical signal corresponding to each of the plurality of cells; a transducer unit for transducing, into an ultrasound signal, the electrical signal outputted from each of the plurality of cells; and a processor for grouping the plurality of cells into at least one group corresponding to at least one diagnosis mode, and performing control such that cells corresponding to each group outputs, through the transducer unit, an ultrasound signal having a characteristic differing according to a corresponding diagnosis mode. Therefore, various functions can be supported while using one probe device.
