Title:
ULTRASONIC TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015008733
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic treatment device that can draw a difference of hardness more clearly in an elastography.SOLUTION: A viscoelastic factor calculation unit 44 calculates a viscoelastic factor of a subject (inside) containing an examination target and the differential being the spatial change for elastography, by using the RF signal after the phasing summing from a receiving BF unit 43. The viscoelastic factor calculation unit 44 outputs Hue (hue signal) representing a viscoelastic factor value in a sampling point in each line, Value (luminance signal) representing the differentiated value of the viscoelastic factor, and Saturation (chroma degree: 1), to an image synthesis unit 46.
