PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, etc. capable of generating an ultrasonic image having a non-artificial and smooth image quality with a speckle pattern suitably removed. SOLUTION: A speckle pattern is removed from each image by decomposing each image, obtained through multi-resolution decomposition, into a low-pass signal component, a high-pass signal horizontal component, a high-pass signal vertical component and a high-pass signal diagonal component, performing a morphological reconstruction process on the respective decomposed signal components and then performing a multi-resolution reconstruction.
