Claim 7:
8. The ultrasound diagnostic device according to claim 7, wherein the each set transmission of the plurality of set transmissions includes a first ultrasound transmission and a second ultrasound transmission with different drive pulse polarities as the pair of ultrasound transmissions,
wherein the receiver is configured to generate the first acoustic line signal based on a reflected wave related to the first ultrasound transmission and generate the second acoustic line signal based on a reflected wave related to the second ultrasound transmission,
wherein the hardware processor is configured to generate an imaging signal based on the first acoustic line signal and the second acoustic line signal,
wherein a time interval between the first ultrasound transmission and the second ultrasound transmission in the each set transmission of the plurality of set transmissions differs from a time interval between two consecutive ultrasound transmissions each included in a different set transmission of the plurality of set transmissions, and
wherein the hardware processor is configured to compare the first acoustic line signal with the second acoustic line signal and detects, as the virtual image signal part, a signal part of one of the first acoustic line signal and the second acoustic line signal that is not present in the other.
