Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/099410
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are an ultrasonic diagnosis device and an ultrasonic image display method both for appropriately displaying a three-dimensional elasticity image, a three-dimensional blood flow image, and a three-dimensional tomogram so that the images can be recognized. The ultrasonic diagnosis device is provided with an ultrasonic probe (102) having a vibrator for transmitting/receiving an ultrasonic wave, a transmitting section (105) for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a subject (101) by means of the ultrasonic probe (102), a receiving section (106) for receiving reflection echo signals from the subject (101), a projected image creating unit (120) for rendering a plurality of types of volume data according to the reflection echo signals and thereby creating a projected image, and a display section (122) for displaying the projected image. The ultrasonic diagnosis device is further provided with projected image creating sections (200, 202) for creating a plurality of projected images from the volume data of the types and a projected image combining section (203) for creating a combined projected image by combining the projected images according to a prescribed combining ratio. The display section (122) displays the combined projected image.
