Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic image diagnostic apparatus includes one or a plurality of ultrasonic probes, a scanning unit configured to scan inside an object with ultrasonic waves through the ultrasonic probe, an image generation unit configured to generate an ultrasonic image based on an output from the scanning unit, and a display unit configured to display the ultrasonic image. The ultrasonic image diagnostic apparatus further includes a posture detection unit configured to detect the posture of the display unit and a control unit configured to control the scanning unit to change a scanning condition in response to a change in the detected posture of the display unit.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe, a generating unit, a first housing, a second housing, a display unit, a recognition unit, and a display control unit. The generating unit generates ultrasonic image data. The first housing includes an operation panel for issuing an operation instruction. The second housing is connected to the first housing and includes a screen. The display unit displays a display image on the screen. The display image includes at least one of an image display area for the ultrasonic image and a panel display area for a display panel. The recognition unit recognizes a connection state between the first housing and the second housing. The display control unit changes at least one of display positions, sizes, and shapes of the image display area and the panel display area on the display image in accordance with the recognized connection state.

Abstract: An ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus and an ultrasound image processing method that can automatically display a pair of a cardiac systolic end period image and a cardiac diastolic end period image based on living body signal data. A plurality of ultrasound images are collected from a patient and stored in a memory in correspondence with living body signal data, such as an ECG wave. When a freeze instruction is input during a reproduction of ultrasound images, a pair of images of a cardiac diastolic end period and a systolic end period is searched for going back from the freeze input time. A pair of the diastolic end period image and the systolic end period image is automatically displayed on a screen of the ultrasound image diagnosis apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, an ultrasonic diagnostic method, and an image processing program for the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus. An image reconstruction unit converts B-mode image data and doppler mode image data into volume data with the common coordinate axes. A calculation unit calculates the estimated volume of a fetus based upon the volume data, and calculates the estimated weight of the fetus based upon a coefficient stored beforehand in a data storage unit and the estimated volume of the fetus thus calculated. A display unit displays the calculation results with respect to the estimated weight of the fetus etc. The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, the ultrasonic diagnostic method, and the image processing program for the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the present invention improves the operability of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus for calculating the estimated weight of a fetus.
