Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus
First Claim
1. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
- transmission/reception circuitry configured to transmit/receive an ultrasonic wave to/from an object via a piezoelectric transducer;
ultrasonic image generation circuitry configured to generate a series of color Doppler images along a time series based on an output from the transmission/reception circuitry and generate a Doppler waveform image based on an output from the transmission/reception circuitry;
specifying information generation circuitry configured to generate a maximum flow velocity time corresponding to a maximum flow velocity value in a Doppler waveform on the Doppler waveform image;
selection circuitry configured to select a color Doppler image corresponding to the maximum flow velocity time from the series of color Doppler images based on generation of the maximum flow velocity time in response to a predetermined operation executed after generation of the Doppler waveform image; and
storage circuitry configured to store the selected color Doppler image in response to the predetermined operation.
