An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes an ultrasonic element array that has two-dimensionally arranged ultrasonic elements transmitting ultrasonic waves and receiving reflected echoes, an ultrasonic image generator that generates an ultrasonic image on the basis of the reflected echoes received by the ultrasonic element array, a display that displays the ultrasonic image, a touch panel that is provided on a display surface of the display and receives a users input so as to output an input signal, and a driving controller that controls driving of the ultrasonic element array on the basis of the input signal from the touch panel.
