摘要:
An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a controller, a processor, and an image generator. The controller selects at least one transducer element in a reception aperture formed of a transducer element group arranged in a predetermined direction, based on at least a deflection angle of an ultrasonic wave transmitted to a subject. The processor performs processing on at least one reception signal of a plurality of reception signals generated in the reception aperture such that a signal intensity of a reception signal generated in the at least one transducer element selected by the controller is reduced to be lower than a signal intensity of reception signals generated in transducer elements other than the at least one transducer element, to output the reception signal of the reception aperture. The image generator generates ultrasonic image data, based on the reception signal of the reception aperture.
