Ultrasound imaging apparatus and method for displaying ultrasound image

摘要

An imaging part acquires a plurality of ultrasound image data by sequentially imaging the subject with ultrasound waves. A display controller causes a display to display, side by side, a plurality of ultrasound images based on the plurality of ultrasound image data acquired by the imaging part.;Moreover, the display controller causes the display to display measurement markers for obtaining quantitative information of tissues shown in the ultrasound images in a state superimposed in relatively the same positions on the plurality of ultrasound images.

主权项

1. An ultrasound imaging apparatus, comprising:
an input circuit to receive user input; a memory circuit to store a plurality of ultrasound image data; and a processing circuit to
acquire, as the plurality of ultrasound image data, first and second body tissue image data in which a body tissue of a subject is represented and first and second contrast agent image data in which a contrast agent is represented, by imaging the subject in which the contrast agent is injected with ultrasound waves, wherein the first and second body tissue image data are acquired at different timings and the first and second contrast agent image data are acquired at different timings,cause a display to display a reference image that is one of a first body tissue image based on the first body tissue image data and a first contrast agent image based on the first contrast agent image data,cause the display to display a first marker on the reference image, the first marker having a position and a shape defined by first input signals received by the input circuit,cause the display to display, side by side, a second body tissue image based on the second body tissue image data and a second contrast agent image based on the second contrast agent image data,detect a position and a shape of a second marker corresponding to the position and the shape of the first marker, by comparing the reference image to the second body tissue image or the second contrast agent image, andcause the display to display the second marker on both the second body tissue image and the second contrast agent image in a state superimposed respectively, in relatively same positions.
