ULTRASONIC IMAGE COMPOSING APPARATUS, ULTRASONIC IMAGE COMPOSING METHOD, AND ULTRASONIC IMAGE COMPOSING PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic image composing apparatus which can compose an ultrasonic three-dimensional image of an examination object based on a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasonic tomograms, wherein the plurality of two-dimensional ultrasonic tomograms are obtained by putting a standard object having a specific shape between the examination object and an ultrasonic probe and then taking the ultrasonic tomograms of the examination object and the standard object.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic image composing apparatus includes: the ultrasonic probe for transmitting and accepting an ultrasonic wave; the standard object having a specific shape; an ultrasonic tomogram generator for generating the ultrasonic tomograms based on the ultrasonic wave accepted by the ultrasonic probe; and an ultrasonic image composing processor for composing the ultrasonic image of the examination object based on the plurality of the ultrasonic tomograms, wherein the plurality of the ultrasonic tomograms are generated by the ultrasonic tomogram generator and make copies of the examination object and the standard object in their respective ultrasonic tomograms.
