Ultrasound reception apparatus applying adaptive reception beamforming to synthesis processing and ultrasound reception method applying adaptive reception beamforming to synthesis processing

An ultrasound reception apparatus applying adaptive reception beamforming to synthesis processing, the apparatus comprising:

• signal processing circuitry configured to:
• sequentially acquire a plurality of pieces of first reflected wave data for each channel, the plurality of pieces of first reflected wave data indicating reflected waves corresponding to ultrasound waves transmitted at a plurality of timings, respectively;
• perform delay correction processing corresponding to a transmission path of the reflected waves with respect to the plurality of pieces of first reflected wave data, thereby generating, for each channel, a plurality of pieces of second reflected wave data for the plurality of timings;
• perform synthesis processing with respect to the plurality of pieces of second reflected wave data, thereby generating one piece of third reflected wave data;
• and
• perform adaptive reception beamforming on the one piece of third reflected wave data, thereby acquiring one piece of fourth reflected wave data.
