PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce burdens on an examiner in measuring IMT and to reduce the measuring time in the carotid artery ultrasonic examination. SOLUTION: The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic transmission/receiving part, a tomographic image processing part, a display part, a heartbeat information acquisition part, a storage part, and a control part. In the live state, a tomographic image created based on an ultrasonic echo signal received from a subject is displayed in the display part, and the tomographic image and the information on the heartbeat are stored in the storage part. In the frozen state, only the tomographic image of a prescribed cardiac time phase is selectively displayed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
