DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND APPARATUS

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to appropriately display the state of biological tissue when punctured. The diagnostic ultrasound apparatus is provided with: a tomographic image-generating section (20) for generating tomographic image frame data on the basis of ultrasonic waves reflected by a test object (16) that is being punctured; a displacement data-generating section (28) for generating displacement image data representing the displacement of the biological tissue of the test object (16) on the basis of tomographic image frame data for multiple frames; and an image-combining section (22) for displaying a displacement image representing the state of displacement of the biological tissue superimposed on a tomographic image on a monitor (30) on the basis of the tomographic image frame data and the displacement image data. As a result, displacements such as deformation of the biological tissue that result from puncturing are displayed.
