ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSING APPARATUS AND ULTRASONIC IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

A technique for displaying an ultrasonic three-dimensional image and its tomographic image simultaneously. The technique comprises a transmitting/receiving circuit (111) for controlling the transmission and reception of an ultrasonic wave, a three-dimensional processing unit (120) for forming a three-dimensional image from the ultrasonic signal received by the transmitting-receiving circuit, and an image processing circuit (115) for making a transformation into a format to display a tomographic image and a three-dimensional image. The three-dimensional processing unit includes an angle detecting circuit (121) for generating angle information of a high resolution from two encoder signals of turning and rocking motions, and a high-speed processing circuit (122) for generating, processing and slicing three-dimensional image data.
