Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device processes ultrasound images obtained by ultrasound scanning on a diagnostic target. The ultrasound images include a set of material images for analyzing shape of the diagnostic target and a diagnostic image for analyzing a diagnostic value of a specific part of the diagnostic target. An image analysis measurement unit generates a schematic diagram showing schematic shape of the diagnostic target based on the shape of the diagnostic target. A relative position calculation unit calculates a relative position of local shape of the specific part to the shape of the diagnostic target. A diagnostic value superimposing unit identifies a position on the schematic shape of the diagnostic target that corresponds to a position of the specific part based on the relative position, and superimposes data of the diagnostic value on the identified position on the schematic shape of the diagnostic target shown in the schematic diagram.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device that transmits a push pulse in order to detect shear waves, including a push pulse transmitter, a displacement detector, an evaluator, and a push pulse adjuster. The push pulse transmitter transmits the push pulse based on a transmission profile. The displacement detector repeatedly transmits ultrasound into the subject after the push pulse, receives reflected ultrasound from the subject that corresponds to transmitted ultrasound, and detects displacement due to shear waves caused by the push pulse. The evaluator evaluates shear wave propagation based on detected displacement. The push pulse adjuster adjusts the transmission profile based on evaluation results. When the transmission profile is adjusted, the push pulse transmitter transmits a second push pulse based on the adjusted transmission profile and the displacement detector detects displacement caused by the second push pulse.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus measures blood flow velocity by emitting ultrasound towards a measurement target and receiving a reflected wave, via an ultrasound probe. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound image acquisition unit, a vascular region detection unit, a measurement position determination unit, and a Doppler gate setting unit. The ultrasound image acquisition unit acquires an ultrasound image which has been captured of the measurement target. The vascular region detection unit detects, from the ultrasound image, a vascular region corresponding to a blood vessel. The measurement position determination unit detects a specific part of the vascular region based on vascular region shape and determines, in accordance with the specific part, one or more measurement positions in the vascular region in terms of longitudinal direction thereof. The Doppler gate setting unit sets, with respect to each measurement position, a Doppler gate in a lumen region of the vascular region.
