摘要： The analysis image generating unit generates section images from volume analysis data that is collected by sending an ultrasound wave down to a region under the ribs. The right/left identifying unit identifies the right or left breast from cyclic motion components in the section images. The extending direction detecting unit analyzes plane-A images or plane-B images generated from the same volume analysis data, or a plane-C thickness-added MIP image, and detects the rib extending direction. The extending direction detecting unit also determines the position of the ultrasound probe based on the relative displacement of the extending direction. The body mark generating unit generates a body mark from the analysis results obtained by the right/left identifying unit and the extending direction detecting unit. The image synthesizing unit integrates the display image generated by the display image generating unit and the body mark, and displays it on the monitor.

摘要： The ultrasonic imaging apparatus comprises an ultrasonic probe, a detecting part, a position analyzing part, a display control part, a display part, and a storage part. The detecting part is mounted on the ultrasonic probe operable to detect a part of a prescribed pattern formed on an ultrasonic low attenuation medium. In the storage part, the prescribed pattern formed on the ultrasonic low attenuation medium has been preliminarily stored. Upon receipt of detection results from the detecting part, the position analyzing part specifies the position of a part of the detected pattern on the prescribed pattern by referring to the prescribed pattern stored in the storage part. The display control part controls the display part to display the positional relation between the ultrasonic probe and the subject to be examined regarding the position of a part of the prescribed pattern that has been detected as the position of the ultrasonic probe.

摘要： According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe, an ultrasonic transmission/reception unit, a volume data generating unit, a projected image generating unit, a two dimensional region-of-interest setting unit, a specifying unit, a calculation unit and a three-dimensional region-of-interest determination unit. The specifying unit specifies cells on rays which pass through the respective pixels in the 2D-ROI and are used to acquire a VR image. The calculation unit calculates the contribution degree of each cell based on the voxel value and opacity of each cell specified and calculates the average value of the contribution degrees of cells equal in distance from the screen of the VR image along the line-of-sight direction. The three-dimensional region-of-interest determination unit specifies the distances from the screen of the VR image which correspond to average contribution values exceeding the predetermined threshold and determines the position of the 3D-ROI in the volume data.

摘要： An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus removes a speckle pattern using information on a direction (depth direction) that is substantially orthogonal to a plurality of ultrasonic images included in three-dimensional image data. For example, three-dimensional CFAR processing, two-dimensional CFAR processing, and a depth-direction arithmetic process are performed to discriminate a continuous structure that is three-dimensionally arranged from a local microstructure, thereby generating a microstructure extracted image.
