Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus has a storage unit for storing the elastic volume data generated on the basis of the ultrasonic image data obtained by transmitting/receiving ultrasonic waves to/from an object to be examined, an input unit for setting a region of interest in the space which is occupied by the elastic volume data, an extraction unit for extracting from the elastic volume data a voxel group having the voxel values within a set elasticity range which is set based on the elasticity value of the voxels in the region of interest, a 3-dimensional elastic image creation unit for generating a 3-dimensional elastic image basis on the elastic volume data of the voxel group which is extracted by the extraction unit or the elastic volume data excluding the extracted voxel group; and an image display unit for displaying the 3-dimensional elastic image generated by the 3-dimensional elastic image creation unit.
