ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND PROGRAM FOR THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus capable of collecting time series 3D contrast volume data and morphologic image data for monitor with a less time phase difference.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe, a control system, and a data processing system. The control system repeatedly executes: a first scan which receives a first ultrasonic wave for generating contrast volume image data in which a contrast medium is drawn from a 3D region of a subject by using an ultrasonic probe and acquires a first reception signal corresponding to the first ultrasonic wave; and a second scan which receives a second ultrasonic wave for generating morphologic image data in which the morphology of the subject is drawn from the subject by using the ultrasonic probe in the middle of the first scan, and acquires a second reception signal corresponding to the second ultrasonic wave. The data processing system generates the contrast volume image data on the basis of the first reception signal and generates the morphologic image data on the basis of the second reception signal.
