Ultrasonic observation apparatus and ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus

摘要

An ultrasonic observation apparatus 4 generates respective ultrasonic images from sound ray data obtained by a detachable electron scanning ultrasonic probe 2 and detachable mechanical scanning ultrasonic probe 3 and includes a coordinate transformation table 23 for use to generate image data at pixel locations for display from the sound ray data obtained by the electron scanning ultrasonic probe 2 and mechanical scanning ultrasonic probe 3, and a control unit 21 which detects a type or range of the electron scanning ultrasonic probe 2 or mechanical scanning ultrasonic probe 3 and regenerates the coordinate transformation table 23 based on the detected type or range of the electron scanning ultrasonic probe 2 or mechanical scanning ultrasonic probe 3.
