    摘要: An ultrasound automatic scanning system according to an embodiment includes an ultrasound probe, a mechanical mechanism, and processing circuitry. The ultrasound probe transmits and receives ultrasonic wave. The mechanical mechanism holds and moves the ultrasound probe while an ultrasonic-wave transmission-reception surface of the ultrasound probe is pointed to a subject. The processing circuitry acquires a distance between a body surface of the subject and the ultrasonic-wave transmission-reception surface of the ultrasound probe based on reflected wave data collected while the ultrasound probe is moved by the mechanical mechanism. The processing circuitry generates, based on information of the distance, locus information of movement of the ultrasound probe when ultrasound scanning is executed on the subject. The mechanical mechanism executes ultrasound scanning on the subject by moving the ultrasound probe based on the locus information generated by the processing circuitry.

    摘要: Accordion to one embodiment, an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a volume data generating unit, an image generating unit, an MPR image generating unit, and a display controller. The volume data generating unit generates, based on position angle information of an ultrasound probe and echo data from the ultrasound probe, functional volume data of a subject accompanied with the position angle information. The image generating unit sequentially generates a sectional image of the subject based on the position angle information and the echo data. The MPR image generating unit generates an MPR image corresponding to the cross-section of the sectional image from the functional volume data based on the position angle information corresponding to the sectional image and the position angle information attached to the functional volume data. The display controller displays the sectional image and the MPR image in parallel or in a superimposed manner on a display.
