Disclosed herein are an ultrasound probe and a method of controlling the same. Image quality reduction in a 3D image may be prevented, and blurring of an ultrasound image may be removed via image correction by independently installing position detecting sensors on a transducer module and a motor of the ultrasound probe, detecting a backlash increasing as time, and compensating a variation of the backlash. The ultrasound probe includes a first sensor to detect a position of a transducer changed by rotation, a second sensor to detect rotation of a driving device, and a controlling to determine a backlash between signals of the first and second sensors and correcting an ultrasound image.
