US 2007/0167754 A1 · Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus

Abstract

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus has first region display means for displaying an ultrasonic tomographic image or an endoscopic optical image on the full display screen of the monitor, second region display means for reducing the size of the optical image and displaying the image on a part of the screen, third region display means for superimposing a blood flow dynamic state image on the tomographic image, switching means for switching between the tomographic image and the optical image displayed on the monitor by the first region display means while switching so as to display the optical image by the second region display means and/or the dynamic state image by the third region display means when the tomographic image is displayed by the first region display means, and image quality adjusting means for adjusting luminance and hue suitable for the image displayed on the monitor by each region display means.
