Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an ultrasonic imaging device that generates a clear composite image of a transverse section of a specimen. [Solution] An ultrasonic imaging device 3 comprises: an ultrasonic receiver (351) that receives, via a probe disposed on the surface of a specimen, ultrasonic waves which are transmitted in two scan modes, namely, a first scan mode, and a second scan mode having a wider imaging range than the first scan mode, the ultrasonic waves being transmitted from the probe toward the interior of the specimen and being reflected in the interior of the specimen; a first fragment image generator (352) for generating, on the basis of the ultrasound waves, a first fragment image obtained by partially imaging the interior of the specimen in the first scan mode; a second fragment image generator (353) for generating, on the basis of the ultrasound waves, a second fragment image obtained by partially imaging the interior of the specimen in the second scan mode; and a cross-sectional image synthesizer (354) that generates a composite image of a cross-section of the specimen by non-uniformly synthesizing the first fragment image and the second fragment image.
