1. An ultrasonic imaging apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitter/receiver configured to scan a subject body with ultrasonic waves via an ultrasonic probe, and obtain first ultrasonic data composed of ultrasonic data in a first coordinate system that is along a scanning line; and
a coordinate conversion part configured to perform an arithmetical operation by a GPU, and convert the first ultrasonic data from the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system for image display.

Abstract
A transmitter/receiver scans a subject body with ultrasonic waves via an ultrasonic probe and obtains first ultrasonic data composed of ultrasonic data in a first coordinate system that is along a scanning line, and a coordinate conversion part included in an image generator performs an arithmetical operation by a GPU and converts the first ultrasonic data from the first coordinate system to a second coordinate system for image display.
