Abstract
Motion information of a tissue at a plurality of positions in a subject to be examined which is obtained by transmission/reception of an ultrasonic wave is acquired. This information includes, for example, a quantitative value associated with the strain of the tissue in the subject or a quantitative value associated with a displacement in the subject. A predetermined motion timing of the subject is calculated on the basis of the motion information of the tissue. A first image for indicating the motion timings of the tissue at a plurality of positions in the subject is generated.
Claims23
An ultrasonic image processing apparatus comprising:
- a motion information computation unit which acquires motion information of a tissue at a plurality of positions in a subject to be examined which is obtained by transmission/reception of ultrasonic waves;
- a time computation unit which acquires a predetermined motion timing of the subject on the basis of the motion information of the tissue;
- and
- a display control unit which generates a first image indicating information associated with the predetermined motion timing.
An ultrasonic image processing method comprising:
- acquiring motion information of a tissue at a plurality of positions in a subject to be examined which are obtained by transmission/reception of ultrasonic waves;
- acquiring a predetermined motion timing of the subject on the basis of the motion information of the tissue;
- and
- generating a first image for indicating information associated with the predetermined motion timing.
