ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT APPARATUS AND ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT METHOD

摘要

An ultrasonic measurement apparatus includes: an ultrasonic probe that transmits an ultrasonic wave and outputs a received signal based on a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave; a belt that fixes the ultrasonic probe to a subject; a position detecting unit that detects position information of the ultrasonic probe; a transmission direction determining unit that determines a transmission direction of the ultrasonic prove based on the position information; a transmission signal generating unit that generates a signal for transmitting the ultrasonic wave in the determined transmission direction; a received signal correcting unit that corrects the received signal of the reflected wave corresponding to the transmitted ultrasonic wave based on the position information; and a signal combining unit that combines the received signal.

1. An ultrasonic measurement apparatus, comprising:
an ultrasonic probe that transmits an ultrasonic wave and outputs a received signal based on a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave; a fixture that fixes the ultrasonic probe to a subject; a position detecting unit that detects position information indicating a position of the ultrasonic probe with respect to the subject; a transmission direction determining unit that determines a transmission direction of the ultrasonic wave based on the position information; and a transmission signal generating unit that generates a transmission signal for transmitting the ultrasonic wave in the determined transmission direction.
