Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an operating unit which sets multistage focus positions through operation by an operator, and a multistage focus position correction unit which, when an inter-focus position distance at the multistage focus positions set through the operating unit exceeds an allowable range set in advance for each measurement depth, automatically corrects the multistage focus positions so as to be within the allowable range.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising: a transducer array; a transmission/reception circuit configured to perform transmission and reception of an ultrasonic beam from the transducer array toward a measurement region of a subject to obtain reception data; an image producer circuit configured to produce an ultrasound image on the basis of reception data obtained by the transmission/reception circuit; a display device configured to display the ul…
