PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic image with a high image quality without three-dimensionally moving an ultrasonic probe in an immersion testing. SOLUTION: This ultrasonic diagnostic equipment 1 for scanning a part of a subject immersed in a water tub with liquid via the ultrasonic probe 2 moved mechanically, is provided with a support mechanism 3 for movably supporting the ultrasonic probe 2, an image generation section 6 for generating data of the ultrasonic image based on receiving signals by the ultrasonic probe 2, a surface calculation section 7 for calculating the partial surface of the subject based on the generated ultrasonic image, and a scan control section 8 changing at least one of a deflection angle and a focus point of ultrasonic beam according to a change in the position of the ultrasonic probe 2 based on the calculated surface.
