Ultrasonic Diagnostic Apparatus

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus to be used for diagnosing a bone including a healthy region and a diseased region. ; SOLUTION: An ultrasonic beam 40 for echo tracking is formed for a healthy region 52a of the bone 50 including healthy regions 52a and 52b and a fractured region 54. The echo tracking process is executed in the state in which a load F is not applied to the bone 50 and in the state in which the load F is applied to the bone, and the quantity of distortion of the bone 50 caused by the load F is computed via the ultrasonic beam 40 formed for the healthy region 52a. In this way, the state of coaptation in the fractured region 54 is evaluated based on the quantity of distortion computed via the healthy region 52a. ; COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
