PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an ultrasonic imaging apparatus which shows a position of a probe of a linear scan type in an ultrasonic probe easily and clearly to an operator. SOLUTION: Since an icon 41 similar to a cross-sectional shape of the ultrasonic probe is displayed in a display part, and a cursor 42 moving in conjunction with the position of a probe array embedded in the ultrasonic probe is provided in the icon 41, the operator quickly recognizes the position of the probe array during a scan intuitively by looking at the icon 41 and the cursor 42 and easily relates an imaging position to tomographic image information. Consequently, the improvement of the operability is achieved when three-dimensional tomographic image information of a subject is acquired. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
