摘要：
A body fat diagnostic apparatus with which fat can be diagnosed safely is provided even in the case where a deep portion of the living body is diagnosed or there are bone tissues outside the measurement region. The body fat diagnostic apparatus is formed of: a probe 2 for emitting ultrasonic waves both for applying heat and for diagnosis； and an ultrasonic wave velocity change analyzing unit 15 for calculating the change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves in the measurement region on the basis of the ultrasonic wave echo signals acquired from the region before and after the application of heat using the probe 2, so that fat is diagnosed on the basis of the calculated change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves.
