An ultrasound imaging device, which can extract nonlinear components efficiently and improve the ultrasound penetration, is provided. The receiver has a given reception band, and the lower limit frequency of the reception band is the first frequency. The frequency band of the ultrasound wave transmitted by the transmitting means is set as the first frequency or higher and at least 3 times of the first frequency. When the ultrasound wave in such band is transmitted, the low-frequency harmonic component of the nonlinear component may have higher frequency than the first frequency and therefore can be received by the receiver. Also, as most of the high-frequency harmonic components can be generated in the reception band, most of the high-frequency harmonic components can be received.
