Problems solved by technology

As a result, the degree of shading by the contrast agent will be uneven at each depth of the region of interest, making accurate diagnosis difficult
In JP-A-11-155858, in order to maximize the received signal of the contrast agent, an ultrasonic device that appropriately controls the transmitted sound pressure is disclosed. However, even in order to maximize the received signal of the contrast agent Large and suitable transmission beams are applied, and the effect of the contrast agent is not uniform in the deep region of interest and the shallower region of interest as described above.

Abstract

A ultrasonic diagnosing device which irradiates and scans an object to be examined with a ultrasonic beam produced by driving a plurality of vibrators 23, and produces and displays the tomographic image of the object based on a ultrasonic wave reflected off this object, wherein a sound pressure regulating means for regulating the sound pressure of a ultrasonic beam during ultrasonic beam scanning is provided so as to be able to make equal the sound pressures of ultrasonic beams 53, 55, 57 in respective regions of interest 47, 49, 51. Therefore, the sound pressures of ultrasonic beams 53, 55, 57 applied to contrast media in respective regions of interest 47, 49, 51 are made constant even when the regions 47, 49, 51 are at different depths to allow contrast media to give the same behavior, whereby uniform contrasting effects are provided in the regions of interest 47, 49, 51.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, and particularly relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus suitable for performing diagnosis by injecting a contrast medium into a blood vessel or the like of a subject. Background technique [0002] An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus transmits and receives ultrasonic waves to and from a subject through a probe, and generates tomographic images based on received wave signals including reflected waves from the subject, that is, reflected echo signals, to provide information useful for diagnosis. [0003] Generally, a probe is formed by arranging a plurality of vibrators at equal intervals in a straight line, a curve, or a plane. In addition, a plurality of selected transducers are simultaneously driven to form an ultrasonic beam to scan a diagnostic site in the subject, and a tomographic image is generated based on a reflected echo signal formed by the reflected wave or the like. ...
