ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely extract the desired tissue of a lesion and to preserve the extracted tissue as an image after actually extracting the tissue.

SOLUTION: The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for three-dimensionally scanning a subject using an ultrasonic wave by a probe and sampling the tissue of the lesion detected by the scan by inserting a puncture needle of a double structure into a subject and inserting it to the lesion by projecting an inner needle from the outer needle includes: an image creating unit 15 configured to create an image 26a of the lesion 26 and an image 22a of the puncture needle 22 inserted into the subject P on the basis of the scan data of ultrasonic waves; and a monitor 4 configured to display the image 26a of the lesion 26 and the image 22a of the puncture needle 22 created by the image creating unit 15. The image creating unit 15 displays the tissue expected to be extracted from the lesion as an image 28 on the monitor 4 if the inner needle is projected from the outer needle immediately before the inner needle of the puncture needle 22 is inserted into the lesion.
