Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a transmitter, a receiver and a hardware processor. The transmitter outputs a drive signal for a C-mode image to an ultrasound probe. The receiver obtains a reception signal from the probe. The processor sets at least one mask in a frame of packet data of the reception signal; calculates a covariance matrix from a plurality of packet data included in the mask; calculates an eigenvector for the mask from the covariance matrix; calculates a first filter coefficient for the packet data by using the eigenvector and a gain matrix; performs interpolation on the first filter coefficient to calculate a second filter coefficient for packet data of each position in the frame; filters the packet data of the position by using the second filter coefficient; and generates C-mode image data from the filtered packet data.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device generates a frame reception signal by compounding sub-frame reception signals acquired from a subject body through an ultrasound probe. The sub-frame reception signals are generated through sub-scans composing an ultrasound scan. Between the sub-scans, a range in the scanned subject body differs due to a different ultrasound beam steering angle used. The diagnostic device includes a control circuit with a reception signal acquirer acquiring sub-frame reception signals, and a map creator creating sub-frame enhancement maps corresponding to the sub-frame reception signals, the maps created by calculating, for a pixel region reception signal, an enhancement amount according to a characteristic value calculated based on the pixel region reception signal. The diagnostic device also includes an enhancement-applied reception signal generator generating an enhancement-applied frame reception signal by compounding pixel region reception signals considering the enhancement amount included in at least one sub-frame enhancement map.
