Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus including: an ultrasonic observation device that transmits and receives an ultrasonic wave by an ultrasonic transducer arranged on a tip end of a probe, and that acquires a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasonic tomographic images for a subject in a living body; a position data calculator that detects information indicating a reference position of each of the two-dimensional ultrasonic tomographic images and an orientation of a tomographic plane of the each two-dimensional ultrasonic tomographic image; and an image processor is provided. The image processor generates a band-shaped longitudinal image including a curved plane along a moving path of the ultrasonic transducer.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes an image processing controlling unit that creates a guide image which corresponds to an anatomical position and orientation of a two-dimensional ultrasound image of an interior of a subject based on anatomical image data which is previously stored as anatomical image data of a human body; and a display unit that outputs and displays various types of images including the guide image and the two-dimensional ultrasound image so that plural images are simultaneously output and displayed.
