Title:
ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/176837
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An ultrasonic diagnostic device according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which an analysis unit (172) uses an ultrasonic probe to analyze the tissue properties of the position reflected by an ultrasonic wave transmitted inside a subject to be examined, on the basis of the received signal of the ultrasonic wave. A signal acquiring unit (171) acquires information about a noise signal corresponding to the area analyzed by the analysis unit (172). A noise area extraction unit (173) uses the information about the noise signal acquired by the signal acquiring unit (171) to identify, for each area, whether the received signal used for the analysis carried out by the analysis unit (172) is a noise signal. When a noise signal has been identified by the noise region extraction unit (173), a display control unit (174) controls the display of the identified area on a monitor.
