Abstract
Tissue property of a reflector is detected based on plural reception signals outputted from plural ultrasonic transducers by receiving ultrasonic echoes. An ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes: an ultrasonic probe including plural ultrasonic transducers for transmitting ultrasonic waves toward an object to be inspected and receiving ultrasonic waves reflected from the object to output plural reception signals; and a tissue property image generating unit for generating information on tissue property in a region within the object based on interrelationship among at least one group of reception signals on the region from among the plural reception signals respectively outputted from the plural ultrasonic transducers.
