Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes: when a probe is moved, a shift amount correction section configured to correct an amount of shift from a first frame to a second frame being a frame at different time from the first frame; and a distortion amount calculation section configured to calculate an amount of distortion on the basis of a phase difference detected from the first frame and the second frame having been subjected to shift amount correction by the shift amount correction section.

An image processing apparatus comprising:
- when a probe is moved, a shift amount correction section configured to correct an amount of shift from a first frame to a second frame being a frame at different time from the first frame;
- and
- a distortion amount calculation section configured to calculate an amount of distortion on the basis of a phase difference detected from the first frame and the second frame having been subjected to shift amount correction by the shift amount correction section.
A method of processing an image for causing an image processing apparatus to perform processing comprising:
- when a probe is moved, correcting an amount of shift from a first frame to a second frame being a frame at different time from the first frame;
- and
- calculating an amount of distortion on the basis of a phase difference detected from the first frame and the second frame having been subjected to correction of the amount of shift by the shift amount correction section.
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a probe;
- and
- an image processing section,
- wherein the image processing section includes
- when a probe is moved, a shift amount correction section configured to correct an amount of shift from a first frame to a second frame being a frame at different time from the first frame;
- and
- a distortion amount calculation section configured to calculate an amount of distortion on the basis of a phase difference detected from the first frame and the second frame having been subjected to correction of the amount of shift by the shift amount correction section.
