ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, AND CONTROL PROGRAM FOR ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus capable of suppressing striped artifacts without causing deterioration of biological information in an ultrasonic image.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprises: a transmitting/receiving unit 11 for transmitting/receiving an ultrasonic wave to/from an ultrasonic probe 20 so as to generate a plurality of reception beam data per one ultrasonic beam; an image generation unit 13 for generating an ultrasonic image based on the plurality of reception beam data generated when the inside of a subject is scanned with the ultrasonic beam; and a filter processing unit 14 for selectively determining a filter to be applied, from a plurality of filters having different frequency characteristics for each region in the ultrasonic image, and performing a filtering process for reducing striped artifacts by using the determined filter for each region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
