PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new technology capable of coping with relative positional deviation of a blood vessel position of a measurement object.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic measurement device 1 includes a plurality of transmission/reception sections 10 for performing transmission/reception of an ultrasonic wave for a blood vessel BV, a movement detection section 23 for detecting the movement of the blood vessel BV, and a discrimination section 25 for discriminating the transmission/reception section 10 used for the measurement of a blood vessel function related to the blood vessel BV based on the detection result of the movement detection section 23. The movement detection section 23 may detect the movement of the blood vessel BV using a reception signal by the transmission/reception section 10. Also, the ultrasonic measurement device 1 may be configured so that it includes an attitude detection section 120 for detecting an attitude of the transmission/reception section 10, and the movement detection section 23 detects the movement of the blood vessel BV using the detection result of the attitude detection section 120.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】計測対象の血管位置の相対的な位置ずれに対処することができる新たな技術の提供。【解決手段】超音波計測装置1は、血管BVに向けた超音波の送受信を行うための複数の送受信部10と、血管BVの移動を検出する移動検出部23と、移動検出部23の検出結果に基づいて、血管BVに係る血管機能の計測に用いる送受信部10を判別する判別部25と、を備える。移動検出部23は、送受信部10による受信信号を用いて血管BVの移動を検出することとしてもよい。また、送受信部10の姿勢を検知する姿勢検知部120を備えることとして、移動検出部23が姿勢検知部120の検知結果を用いて血管BVの移動を検出することとしてもよい。【選択図】図2
