摘要:
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes a transmitter/receiver, a signal processor, an image generator, and a controller. The transmitter/receiver executes ultrasonic transmission/reception sets a plurality of times on an identical scanning line by changing transmission conditions, and generates a plurality of sets of reception signals, the ultrasonic transmission/reception sets including a plurality of ultrasonic transmissions/receptions on the identical scanning line serving as a unit. The signal processor combines the reception signals in each of the plurality of the sets, and generates a plurality of composite signals corresponding to each of the plurality of the sets. The image generator generates ultrasonic image data using the composite signals. The controller controls an order of ultrasonic transmissions/receptions executed by the transmitter/receiver such that previous transmissions of respective transmissions corresponding to the reception signals in one set combined by the signal processor have an identical transmission condition but different phase polarities.
