ULTRASONIC MEASURING DEVICE, ULTRASONIC IMAGE DEVICE, AND ULTRASONIC MEASURING METHOD

摘要

An ultrasonic measuring device including: an ultrasonic transducer device; a force sensor that measures pressing force; an emission unit that performs processing for emitting an ultrasonic beam; a reception unit that performs processing for receiving an ultrasonic echo obtained from the ultrasonic beam being reflected by a test subject; and a processing unit that performs analysis processing based on a reception signal from the reception unit and detection information from the force sensor, wherein the processing unit obtains elasticity information of a biological tissue layer of the test subject based on thickness information and pressing force information, the thickness information being thickness information of the biological tissue layer acquired based on the reception signal from the reception unit, and the pressing force information being pressing force information regarding the pressing force applied to the test subject from the force sensor.
