Patent ID: 7946989

Claim:
An ultrasonic diagnosing apparatus, comprising: connecting means for connecting a probe having an ultrasonic transducer unit to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves; transmitting/receiving means for supplying an ultrasonic signal to said ultrasonic transducer unit and carrying out a reception process of the ultrasonic signal received by said ultrasonic transducer unit; an image memory for storing said received and processed ultrasonic signal as an image data; and three-dimensional operating means for forming a three-dimensional image from the image data stored in said image memory at real time, said three-dimensional operating means including an operation processing circuit for carrying out processes of generation, treatment and cut of the three-dimensional image data, wherein said three-dimensional operating means is designed so as to cut and division-display a set number of tomographic images of said three-dimensional image by performing cutting at a set angle within a three-dimensional display range including said three-dimensional image, and between a position of a slice upper limit and a position of a slice lower limit of a range of an intended division display so as to display said set number of tomographic images, wherein the displayed set number of tomographic images includes a plurality of different slice images automatically cut from between the position of the slice upper limit and the position of the slice lower limit, and further wherein the position of the slice upper limit and the position of the slice lower limit are moveable relative to the three-dimensional display range to set the set angle within the three-dimensional display range at which cutting is performed.
