Patent ID: 8861824

Claim:
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, comprising: an ultrasonic probe configured to transmit an ultrasonic beam to a tissue of a biological body and receiving a reflection wave of the ultrasonic beam reflected from the tissue; circuitry configured: to construct an image frame of a first image representing a tomographic image of the tissue based on the reflection wave, wherein the first image contains a region of interest including the tomographic image of the tissue and a region of no interest exclusive of the region of interest that includes the tomographic image of the tissue; to perform a distinguishment of the region of no interest based on an image feature quantity of the image frame wherein the image feature quantity is based on a luminance of the region; to generate a second image that is for display of diagnostic data represented by text; and to generate a synthesized image by determining a display position of the second image based on a result of the distinguishment and superimposing the second image on the image frame of the first image; and a display configured to display the synthesized image.
