    Abstract: An adjustment apparatus is used for ultrasound examination of a subject by transmitting ultrasound to the subject and receiving the ultrasound reflected from the subject. The apparatus includes: a change unit configured such that one end is connected to a suction pump and the other end is provided at a portion of a channel leading to a contact portion with the subject, to change suction force of the suction pump on the other end; and a damper for suppressing change in the suction force. The change unit includes: a cylinder having first and second portions for communicating with one end side and the other end side of the channel, respectively; a piston slidable in the cylinder to change a communication state between the first and second portions; and a spring for biasing the piston toward a direction of causing the first and second portions not to communicate with each other.

    Abstract: An ultrasound imaging system includes an ultrasound imaging device configured to transmit and receive a signal based on transmission and reception of an ultrasound wave. The ultrasound imaging device includes a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: generate a plurality of pieces of data of ultrasound images of an inside of a subject based on the signal, the ultrasound images being spatially separated from one another; invert a magnitude relationship of a luminance value of each of pixels in each of the ultrasound images; automatically set a first boundary across which the luminance value changes by a predetermined amount based on data of one of the ultrasound images; and automatically detect a second boundary in each of the ultrasound images based on the set first boundary.
