    摘要: In one embodiment, a scanning unit (2, 3, 4) repeatedly scans an internal region of an object with an ultrasonic wave at a predetermined frame rate via an ultrasonic probe. An image generation unit (6) extracts a blood flow signal based on a Doppler effect from a reflection signal and repeatedly generates a blood flow image representing a spatial distribution associated with power of the blood flow signal at the frame rate. A power average value associated with a frame or local region is calculated for the blood flow image. The blood flow image is corrected. In the correcting, a gain on the power values in the frame or local region in which the power average value exceeds the threshold are substantially reduced, and power values in the frame or local region in which the power average value is not more than the threshold are maintained.

    摘要: A tissue-image creating unit (14a) creates a tissue image including depth values by volume rendering from three-dimensional tissue data stored in a three-dimensional data storage unit (13). A blood-flow data converting unit (14b) scatters a blood flow in three-dimensional blood-flow data stored in the three-dimensional data storage unit (13) into particles, and converts the three-dimensional blood-flow data into three-dimensional particle data. A blood-flow image creating unit (14c) creates a blood-flow image including depth values from the three-dimensional particle data. A composite-image creating unit (14d) then creates a composite image by coordinating the order of rendering particles and tissue based on the depth values of respective pixels included in the tissue image and the depth values of respective particles included in the blood-flow image. A display control unit (16) then controls display of the composite image so as to be displayed in order onto a monitor included in an output unit (12).

    摘要: An ultrasonic apparatus has a pulse transmission and reception unit (2,4), an envelope curve detection unit (25), a time difference detection unit (27), and an attenuation characteristic obtaining unit (29). The pulse transmission and reception unit transmits a first transmitted pulse that a frequency increases with time and a second transmitted pulse that the frequency decreases with time, further receives a first received pulse corresponding to the first transmitted pulse and a second received pulse corresponding to the second transmitted pulse. The envelope curve detection unit detects a first envelope curve based on the first received signal and a second envelope curve based on the second received signal, respectively. The time difference detection unit detects a time difference between the first envelope curve and the second envelope curve. The attenuation characteristic obtaining unit obtains a frequency dependent ultrasound attenuation characteristic based on the time difference.

    摘要: An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a controller (18), a processor (12), and an image generator (15). The controller (18) selects at least one transducer element in a reception aperture formed of a transducer element group arranged in a predetermined direction, based on at least one of a deflection angle of an ultrasonic wave, an angle between the predetermined direction and a direction indicating a boundary of a structure, and an angle between a direction perpendicular to a normal direction where the predetermined direction intersects with a center of the transducer element group and the direction indicating the boundary. The processor (12) performs processing such that a signal intensity of a reception signal generated in the at least one transducer element is reduced, to output the reception signal of the reception aperture. The image generator (15) generates ultrasonic image data, based on the reception signal.
