    摘要: A method and apparatus for adaptively enhancing a scanned ultrasound image of body portion having both areas (14) of tissue and areas (16) of blood pool. Clutter (18) which appears in the blood pool areas (16) is removed by processing the image signal (30) to generate a mask signal, which signal is substantially present in areas of tissue to pass such areas and is substantially not present in areas of blood pool to block such areas. The image signal (30) is modulated (36) with the mask signal, preferably on a pixel-by-pixel basis, to substantially remove the clutter.

    摘要: An object to be examined is scanned with an ultrasonic wave and a tomographic image of the object is obtained on the basis of reflected ultrasonic waves. This image is stored in a frame memory. The types of the motion of the image, i.e., a still image, a motion image and a slight motion are detected on the basis of the difference in image data between the current tomographic image and a past tomographic image, and the correlation between rasters of the current tomographic image. The correlation coefficient used for frame correlation processing between the current tomographic image and the past tomographic image is adaptively changed in accordance with the detection result.

    摘要: An ultrasonic analyzer for use in an ultrasonic diagnosis instrument includes: a first unit (100) for determining a start point (t₁) and an end point (t₂) at an analysis interval (T) to be analyzed based on an analysis selection signal (w(t)) and a time signal (t) for an input time-series signal (y(t)) reflected from a medium; second units (110, 120, 130, 140) for generating four kinds of integration values (x₁ to x₄) based on four kinds of multiplication signals, each of the multiplication signals being calculated by multiplying the analysis selection signal (w(t)) by the time signal (t), or a square signal (t²) of the time signal, or a product signal (y(t).t) of the time signal (t) and the time-series signal (y(t)), or by the time-­series signal (y(t)); third units (111,112; 121,122; 131,132; 141,142) for storing each of the integration values (x₁ to x₄) by using the time signal (t) as an address for storing; and a fourth unit (150) for calculating a slope of a regression curve based on differences between the integration values (x₁ to x₄), a determination of the differences being based on the start point (t₁) and the end point (t₂) at the analysis interval (T).
