An ultrasound medical device and an ultrasound diagnostic imaging device are provided that allow orally-fed fluid food, etc. to pass through the esophagus of the subject. The ultrasound medical device of the embodiment comprises a capsule-type main body configured to incorporate ultrasound transducers, so that the ultrasound transducers in the capsule-type main body, which has been inserted in a tubular body part of a subject, send ultrasound waves to the subject's interiors and receive reflected waves. The ultrasound medical device further comprises a support configured to be incorporated in the capsule-type main body and to have a form of tube with a through-hole axially passing through the tube, and the ultrasound transducers are arranged external to the tube.
