PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus or the like which implements an improvement in SNR and an increase in spatial resolution.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus acquires, for each scanning line, a plurality of reception signals corresponding to a plurality of ultrasonic beams by performing a plurality of times of ultrasonic transmission/reception on the same scanning line, detects a phase difference between temporally adjacent reception signals of a plurality of reception signals on the each scanning line at each sampling point on the each scanning line, performs correction processing including at least time delay correction for at least one of a plurality of reception signals for the each scanning line based on the phase difference at each sampling point on the each scanning line, adds, for the each scanning line, the plurality of reception signals including a reception signal subjected to the correction processing, and generates a first image from the reception signals added for the each scanning line. |
