<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic image measuring method for blood vessel, which facilitates the positioning of an ultrasonic probe and enables a sufficient positioning precision to be obtained. <P>SOLUTION: This ultrasonic image measuring method for blood vessel includes a positioning process around X axis, and a positioning process around Z axis. In the positioning process around X axis, ultrasonic probes 24, 102 and 112 are positioned in a multi-axis driving apparatus 26 in such a manner that distances from respective ultrasonic array probes to the center of a blood vessel 20 may become equal. In the positioning process around Z axis, the ultrasonic probes 24, 102 and 112 are positioned in the multi-axis driving apparatus 26 in such a manner that the image of the blood vessel 20 may be positioned at the centers in the width direction of a first short axis image display region G1 and a second short axis image display region G2. Since the blood vessel ultrasonic image measuring method includes the positioning process around X axis and the positioning process around Z axis, the probes 24, 102 and 112 can be positioned by using the positions of the ultrasonic array probes to the blood vessel 20, or the distances of the ultrasonic array probes to the blood vessel, and therefore, the ultrasonic probes 24, 102 and 112 can simply and easily be positioned, further with a high precision, on the blood vessel 20 of a living body 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
