Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus, Method Of Controlling Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus, And Program

A method of controlling an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus including an ultrasonic probe which transmits an ultrasonic wave to a subject and receives a reflected wave of the transmitted ultrasonic wave, the method comprising:

• allowing the ultrasonic probe to transmit an ultrasonic wave and acquiring a reception signal relating to the ultrasonic wave received by the ultrasonic probe on the basis of predetermined transmission/reception setting;
• acquiring a calculation parameter which is used for generation of elasticity information in the subject based on the reception signal and is determined in correspondence with the transmission/reception setting;
• generating the elasticity information by using the reception signal on the basis of the acquired calculation parameter;
• and
• allowing a display to display the elasticity information.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program, the program causing a computer to function as:

• a transmission circuit which allows an ultrasonic probe to transmit an ultrasonic wave to a subject and a reception circuit which acquires a reception signal relating to a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave received by the ultrasonic probe on the basis of predetermined transmission/reception setting;
• a processor acquires a calculation parameter which is used for generation of elasticity information in the subject based on the reception signal and is determined in correspondence with the transmission/reception setting;
• wherein the processor generates the elasticity information by using the reception signal on the basis of the acquired calculation parameter;
• and
• wherein the processor allows a display to display the elasticity information.
