    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image obtaining unit, a contour position obtaining unit, a volume information calculating unit, and a controlling unit. The image obtaining unit obtains a plurality of groups of two-dimensional ultrasound image data each of which is generated by performing ultrasound scans, the ultrasound scans being performed on each of a plurality of predetermined cross-sectional planes, and performed for predetermined time. The contour position obtaining unit obtains, by performing a tracking process over the predetermined time period, time-series data of contour positions, the contour positions being either one of, or both of, a cavity interior and a cavity exterior of a predetermined site. The volume information calculating unit calculates, on a basis of a plurality of the time-series data of contour positions, volume information of the predetermined site. The controlling unit exercises control so as to output the volume information.

    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a function index value of each heart chamber for two heart chambers, including the left ventricle, included in a moving image of a heart. The processing circuitry is further configured to generate an image by superimposing a range suggestion image on a two-dimensional coordinate space. In the two-dimensional coordinate space, the processing circuitry allocates the function index value of the each heart chamber to each display dimension corresponding to the each heart chamber and defines the functional index value of the left ventricle as an output coordinate. In the range suggestion image, the processing circuitry colors the range suggestion image according to predetermined normal range and abnormal range for the functional index value of the left ventricle.

    Abstract: In an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment, processing circuitry obtains volume data corresponding to at least one cardiac cycle and being taken of a region including the right ventricle of a patient. The processing circuitry estimates motion information of a tissue in the region by using the volume data. The processing circuitry calculates information including at least one selected from between wall motion information and volume information related to the right ventricle, on the basis of the motion information of the tissue. The processing circuitry outputs the calculated information. The processing circuitry corrects first motion information of the right ventricular outflow tract, which is an outflow tract of the right ventricle, by using second motion information of a site that is positioned in the vicinity of the right ventricular outflow tract and exhibits motion similar to that of the right ventricular outflow tract.

    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to embodiments includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of pieces of medical image data arranged in time series over at least one cardiac cycle in which a region including a pulsative target of a subject is imaged. The processing circuitry performs a plurality of motion estimation processes using a pattern matching at frame intervals different from each other on an identical position for the pieces of medical image data and determines most likely second motion information from among a plurality of pieces of first motion information estimated by the motion estimation processes.
