<p> A medical image processing device such as an ultrasonic diagnosis device, wherein an observation point tracking process is sequentially performed between each of the adjacent frames in a frame sequence. The observation point thereby moves from the start coordinates to the end coordinates in a single heartbeat period. The difference between the coordinates is the error vector, and the total correction amount is obtained from the error vector. The total correction amount is adaptively allocated to individual frames to be corrected in the expansion period. More specifically, the allocated amount for each of the frames to be corrected is calculated on the basis of the amount of movement of the observation point representing the error indicator value obtained for each of the frames to be corrected. A larger allocation amount is applied for a larger amount of observation point movement, and a smaller allocation amount is applied for a smaller amount of observation point movement. It is thereby possible to naturally correct each of the observation point coordinates.</p> |
