PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately analyze tissue characterization without being influenced by speckle noise. SOLUTION: An ultrasonic image processing apparatus includes: an ultrasonic transmitting/receiving section for transmitting ultrasonic waves toward a subject and receiving the ultrasonic waves reflected from the subject; a speckle component extracting section for extracting speckle components from phase components of ultrasonic signals received by the ultrasonic transmitting/receiving section; and an analyzing section for analyzing the tissue characterization included in an ultrasonic image through the use of information of the phase components after removing the extracted speckle components. The problem is solved by providing the ultrasonic image processing apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
