APPAREIL DE DIAGNOSTIC À ULTRASONS, PROCÉDÉ DE FONCTIONNEMENT DE L'APPAREIL DE DIAGNOSTIC À ULTRASONS ET PROGRAMME DE FONCTIONNEMENT POUR L'APPAREIL DE DIAGNOSTIC À ULTRASONS
An ultrasound diagnosis device according to the present invention is an ultrasound diagnosis device configured to generate an ultrasound image based on an ultrasound signal obtained by an ultrasound probe including an ultrasound transducer that transmits ultrasound to an observation target and receives ultrasound back-scattered by the observation target. The ultrasound diagnosis device includes: a feature calculating unit configured to calculate a feature based on an ultrasound signal received from the observation target; an estimating unit configured to estimate a physical quantity of scattering bodies included in the observation target, by using a relation derived based on a known physical quantity of a reference object and a feature obtained from the target object, the reference object including scattering bodies having the known physical quantity, and the feature of the observation target calculated by the feature calculating unit; and a physical quantity information generating unit configured to generate information to be displayed on a display unit, the information including a result of the estimation by the estimating unit.
