Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of an embodiment includes an ultrasonic probe and processing circuitry. The ultrasonic probe transmits an ultrasonic wave to a subject, and receives the ultrasonic wave reflected by the subject. The processing circuitry acquires first ultrasonic data of the subject, based on the ultrasonic wave received by the ultrasonic probe. The processing circuitry extracts identification information that identifies a position of a local peak for each predetermined region of a frame represented by the first ultrasonic data. The processing circuitry outputs second ultrasonic data, based on the extracted identification information and ultrasonic data representing an object to be processed.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry reduces the clutter component, which results from the tissues, from a data row of the plurality of frames and estimates first-type blood flow information. Moreover, the processing circuit generates, from the first-type blood flow information, second-type blood flow information representing images of scalar values of blood flow signals, detects the local maximums of the second-type blood flow information, integrates the local maximums and generates a scalar value integration image, calculates an autocorrelation function in the frame direction at positions of the local maximum in the first-type blood flow information, integrates the autocorrelation functions and generates an autocorrelation function integration image, generates third-type blood flow information, in which the blood flow is color-coded, from the scalar value integration image and the autocorrelation function integration image, and displays the third-type blood flow information on a display.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry extracts an odd harmonic component from a reflected wave signal received by each element of an ultrasonic probe. The processing circuitry determines whether the reflected wave signal is saturated or not using the extracted odd harmonic component. The processing circuitry multiplies the reflected wave signal of an element for which the reflected wave signal is determined to be saturated by a weight coefficient. The processing circuitry generates reflected wave data by performing phasing addition on the reflected wave signal.
