<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus for performing preferred tissue elasticity imaging by providing subjective information to properly compress and relax a diagnosis region in response to a patient. <P>SOLUTION: The ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes: an image data acquiring unit acquiring ultrasonic image data corresponding to each time phase in a first interval including at least one contraction and one stretching by scanning a diagnosis region of a subject which repeats a contracting motion and a stretching motion, with an ultrasonic wave, accompanying application of a dynamic load including repetitive contraction and relaxation, over the first interval; a velocity information generating unit generating velocity information of the diagnosis region associated with the contracting motion and the stretching motion by using the ultrasonic image data corresponding to each time phase in the first interval; a reference period deciding unit deciding reference information as a reference for a period of the dynamic load by using the velocity information; and an output unit generating support information for supporting operation of applying the dynamic load by using the reference period and outputting the information in a predetermined form. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
