PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a high-speed signal processing in a measuring instrument, which performs imaging using adaptive signal processing and a spacial averaging method.SOLUTION: This measuring instrument generates image data in a subject by using an analog signal which is obtained by receiving an ultrasonic wave propagated in the subject with a plurality of ultrasonic converting elements. The measuring instrument includes: a signal-converting unit which converts the analog signal into a digital signal; calculating means which performs the adaptive signal processing to the digital signal, and generates image information; and a data-thinning means which reduces the data amount of the digital signal which is transferred from the signal-converting unit to the calculating means. |
