Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus

摘要

A flexure display is a display graph in which positions of a plurality of surface points and amounts of displacement are correlated. A slider provides a user interface for setting time. A time which is set through the slider is reflected on the flexure display or the like. The flexure display provides a graph showing an amount of displacement of each surface point at the time which is set through the slider. A load display shows a temporal change of an amount of load applied to the bone. A strain display shows a temporal change of an amount of strain of the bone. Time markers showing a predetermined time are displayed on the load display and strain display. The time markers are displayed according to the time which is set through the slider.

主权项

1. An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
a computer programmed to cause the computer to operate as:
a surface detector unit configured to receive a plurality of echo signals and to detect a plurality of surface points corresponding to a surface of the bone based on a plurality of echo signals;a shape measurement unit configured to measure a quantity indicating a shape of the surface of the bone when a load is applied to the bone based on the plurality of detected surface points; anda display image formation unit configured to form a measurement result image in which the measured quantity, an amount of load applied to the bone, and a time when the load is applied to the bone are correlated with each other; and a display configured to display the measurement result image, wherein the display image formation unit is configured to form, as the measurement result image, a characteristic curve graph which shows the measured quantity on one axis and the amount of load on the other axis, and to form a time marker corresponding to a time which is set using a user interface for time setting on a characteristic curve, in the characteristic curve graph, in which the measured quantity and the amount of the load are correlated.
