PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in which it is necessary to take procedures to perform re-setting, etc. when a Doppler measurement position is displaced from a target measurement position, thereby being cumbersome.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes a tomographic image formation part 104a for forming a tomographic image of an object tissue using a reception signal acquired by transmitting an ultrasonic wave to the object tissue, a Doppler waveform generation part 104b for setting a Doppler measurement position at a desired position of the object tissue and, based on the reception signal acquired by transmitting an ultrasonic wave to the Doppler measurement position, generating a Doppler waveform at the desired position, a Doppler waveform evaluation part 104c for evaluating the Doppler waveform, and an image generation control part 103b for determining a generation and display state of the tomographic image and the Doppler waveform displayed in a display part based on the evaluation result acquired by the Doppler waveform evaluation part. The generation and display state includes a first generation and display state in which only the Doppler waveform is generated and displayed, and the tomographic image is frozen and displayed, and a second generation and display state in which both the Doppler waveform and the tomographic image are generated and displayed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】 プラ計測位置が目標計測位置からずれた場合、再設定せざる等の手順をとらざるを得ず、煩雑だった。【解決手段】 対象組織に超音波を送信することにより得られた受信信号を用い、対象組織の断層像を形成する断層像形成部104aと、対象組織の所望の位置にドプラ計測位置を設定して、該ドプラ計測位置に超音波を送信することにより得られた受信信号に基づいて、所望の位置のドプラ波形を生成するドプラ波形生成部104bと、ドプラ波形を評価するドプラ波形評価部104cと、ドプラ波形評価部により得られた評価結果に基づいて表示部に表示する断層像及びドプラ波形の生成・表示状態を決定する画像生成制御部103bとを有し、生成及び表示状態は、ドプラ波形のみ生成して表示し、断層像はフリーズさせ表示する第1の生成・表示状態と、ドプラ波形と断層像の両方を生成して表示する第2の生成・表示状態と、有する。【選択図】 図5
