In order to improve the continuity of the image qualities in the short-axis direction of a plurality of pieces of elastic frame data that constitute elastic volume data and stably generate a high-quality three-dimensional elastic image, regarding each elastic frame data constituting elastic volume data, a noise frame interpolation unit (121) subjects a plurality of pieces of elastic frame data including said elastic frame data and adjacent in a swing direction to synthesis processing, generates the elastic volume data from the synthesized plurality of pieces of elastic frame data, and volume renders the elastic volume data to thereby generate a three-dimensional elastic image. Further, the noise frame interpolation unit (121) stores a plurality of pieces of elastic volume data, subjects a plurality of pieces of elastic frame data at swing angle positions corresponding to the stored plurality of pieces of elastic volume data to synthesis processing to generate synthetic elastic frame data, and generates elastic volume data from the synthesized plurality of pieces of elastic frame data. |
