no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0026] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in the figure, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 has an ultrasonic probe 11, an apparatus main body 13, a display unit 15, and a device connected to the apparatus main body 13 for taking various instructions, commands, and information from the operator into the apparatus main body 13. Input 17. In addition, in the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 , the biological signal measurement unit 19 represented by an electrocardiogram scanner, a phonocardiograph, a sphygmograph, etc., and a network may be connected via an interface unit 37 . The biological signal measurement unit 19 measures a biological signal waveform related to the subject. The biological signal measurement unit 19 outputs the measured biological signal waveform to the device main body 13 via an interface unit 37 described later. The biological signal me...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0099] The difference from the first embodiment is that an index is generated based on specific information, and a color Doppler image suitable for recording is selected based on the generated index.

[0100] Figure 7 It is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the second embodiment.

[0101] The index generating unit 41 associates an index related to a color Doppler image suitable for recording with each of a series of ultrasonic images based on the specific information, and generates it. Specifically, the index generator 41 generates an index related to color image information (hereinafter referred to as a color index) based on the number of color pixels and the intensity of brightness in the energy blood flow image. The color index is an index related to the richness of the blood flow in the display area of ​​the color blood flow image and the energy blood flow image. That is, the size of the color index is p...

Abstract

This ultrasound diagnostic device (1) is provided with: a transception unit (21) for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves between the transception unit (21) and a test subject via a piezoelectric oscillation element; an ultrasonic image generating unit (27) for generating a series of ultrasonic images through time on the basis of output from the transception unit (21); a specific information generating unit (29) for generating prescribed specific information in each of the series of ultrasonic images; a selection unit (31) for selecting a color Doppler image from the series of ultrasonic images on the basis of the specific information when a prescribed operation is performed while the series of ultrasonic images are being displayed; and a memory unit (33) for storing the selected color Doppler image.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus that images a region to be scanned in a subject. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus has a function of performing an operation of generating a Doppler waveform or updating a Doppler waveform, and inputting a freezing operation (hereinafter referred to as a predetermined operation) when displaying a color Doppler image, thereby Doppler waveforms are collected by, for example, the pulse Doppler method. At this time, updating of the color Doppler image is stopped. In addition, the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus stores the stopped color Doppler image after collecting the Doppler waveform. [0003] However, if Figure 9 As shown, the stopped color Doppler image is sometimes not the most suitable image for the operator. The main reason for this is that, for example, respiration and pulsation of the subject, hand tremor of the ope...
