An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that enables even an unskilled person to get accurate detection done is provided. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a controller, to which a probe and a monitor are connected, the probe having an array of transducers, in which a number of transducers are arranged in a first direction. The controller controls transmission of an ultrasonic beam using the array of transducers of the probe and reception of an echo signal, which is a wave of the ultrasonic beam reflected from a region of interest, generates image data based on the echo signal, gets echo signals received from multiple points of the region of interest by either moving or swinging the array of transducers in a second direction that intersects with the first direction at right angles, and if the sum of image data ranges of measured value retrievable portions of the region of interest, included in tomographic images at the multiple points synthesized based on the echo signals, is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, calculates a detected value of the region of interest.
