  • Publication number: 20240122577
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry causes the ultrasonic probe to perform a first scan and second scan in a same scan sequence, wherein the first scan is for calculating a first index value based on a displacement of tissue by a shear wave that propagates through a living body, the second scan for calculating a second index value indicating an attenuation of a reflected wave signal of an ultrasonic wave applied into the living body. The processing circuitry generates a first image based on the first index value, and generates a second image based on the second index value. The processing circuitry causes a display to simultaneously display the first image and the second image.
