Patent ID: 8715182

Claim:
An ultrasonic imaging apparatus, comprising: a data acquiring part configured to transmit ultrasonic waves to a subject and receive reflected waves to obtain values of a plurality of types of parameters signifying a state of a site of the subject; a controller configured to control the data acquiring part to acquire values of respective types of parameters under conditions that, in a plurality of types of stress echocardiographies, a stress is applied corresponding to one type or the plurality of types to the site through administering medication or exercise, while no stress is applied in a normal examination; a storage configured to store the respective parameter values acquired by the data acquiring part in the stress echocardiographies so as to be identifiable by the types of the stress echocardiographies, by the types of the parameters, and by the examination stages; a display; an operation part; and a display controller comprising a list display controller configured to, when a type of the stress echocardiography is designated through the operation part and a request for browsing an examination result is received, read out the values of the parameters of the designated type of stress echocardiography from the storage, and display a list of the values of the parameters in parallel in order of the examination stages on a two-dimensional screen in which one dimension is the types of the parameters and the other dimension is the plurality of examination stages of the designated stress echocardiography, allowing one type of the parameters to be selected through the operation part; and a graph generator configured to normalize the parameter whose type is selected by the operation part based on a parameter at a specific examination stage, to generate a graph indicating a change of the normalized parameter at each examination stage, and to cause the display to display the generated graph.
