Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A region-of-interest setting unit sets a region of interest to be included in an ultrasound image. A first movement-amount calculating unit sequentially calculates a movement amount of the set region of interest between reception data along the time sequence as a first movement amount. A transmitting-receiving delay-amount computing unit computes a delay amount for sequentially shifting a scan region of an ultrasonic beam based on the sequentially calculated first movement amount. A computation/control circuit performs control so as to generate a high voltage pulse based on the computed delay amount. A second movement-amount calculating unit sequentially calculates a movement amount of the region of interest between image data along the time sequence as a second movement amount. A display-position correcting unit performs a correction such that the region of interest included in the image data is to be displayed at the same display position, based on the second movement amount.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising: an ultrasonic probe configured to send and receive ultrasonic waves; a region-of-interest setting unit that sets a region of interest to be included in an ultrasound image created based on reception data acquired by using an ultrasonic wave reflected from a subject; a receiving filter that separates a fundamental wave and one of a subharmonic wave and a higher harmonic wave from a same reception data; an i…
