Abstract:
1. An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising: an ultrasonic probe provided with transducers configured to transmit/receive ultrasonic waves; a transmitter configured to transmit ultrasonic waves to an object to be examined via the ultrasonic probe; a receptor configured to receive reflected echo signals from the object; an elastic volume data generator for generating elastic volume data by using the reflected echo signals; and a 3-dimensional elastic image constructor configured to construct a 3-dimensional elastic image by performing volume rendering on the elastic volume data; and a display configured to display the 3-dimesnional elastic image, wherein the 3-dimensional elastic image constructor comprises: wherein the 3-dimensional elastic image synthesizer synthesizes the first 3-dimensional elastic image and the second 3-dimensional elastic image to thereby superimpose the first 3-dimensional elastic image and the second 3-dimensional elastic image onto the display screen.
