Problems solved by technology

[0014] However, in the above-mentioned "reinjection method", although it is possible to accurately differentiate liver tumors and diagnose the degree of malignancy, there is a problem that the physical burden on the subject and the workload on the physician increase due to the second administration of the ultrasound contrast medium. , and further, due to the extension of inspection time, the problem of deterioration of inspection efficiency

Abstract

When an image creating unit creates a three-dimensional ultrasound image of a blood-vessel early phase, an operator presses an image selecting button, and selects an area to be displayed as superimposed by using an image-selecting Graphical User Interface (GUI) displayed by an image-selecting GUI display-control unit. After the image creating unit start creation of a three-dimensional ultrasound image in a late phase, when the operator presses a composition display button, the movement-distance calculating unit calculates a movement distance between a three-dimensional tissue image at the moment of the press of the composition display button and each of three-dimensional tissue images in the area to be displayed as superimposed, and an image correcting unit corrects each of three-dimensional contrast enhanced images corresponding the three-dimensional tissue images of the blood-vessel early phase by using the movement distance. An animated-image compositing unit creates a group of images for animation that the corrected three-dimensional contrast enhanced images of the blood-vessel early phase are each combined with a three-dimensional contrast enhanced image of the late phase, and a monitor displays the group of the images for animation in animation.

Description

technical field [0001] This application enjoys the benefit of priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-137703 filed on June 8, 2009 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-108582 filed on May 10, 2010, which are incorporated herein by reference the entire content of . [0002] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic device, an image processing device, an image processing method, and an image display method. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, in ultrasonic examinations using ultrasonic diagnostic equipment, contrast-enhanced ultrasonographic examinations ( For example, refer to "Medical Imaging and Radiation Equipment Handbook" edited by Japan Imaging Medical System Industry Association, Nago Art Printing Co., Ltd., 2013, p.221-225). [0004] Here, it is recommended that in abdominal contrast ultrasonography for the purpose of differentially diagnosing "benign and malignant" liver tumors, after administering an intravenously injectable ...
