Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ultrasonic diagnostic equipment which transmits ultrasonic waves to the inside of a subject, obtains reception signals by receiving ultrasonic signals reflected in and returned by the subject body, and outputs an image based on the reception signals, and with which degradation of image quality caused by multiple reflection or multiple echo can be suppressed. SOLUTION: When a process to make a circulation of forming a plurality of transmission ultrasonic beams progressing along a plurality of transmission scanning lines is defined as one frame, a beam former part obtains scan line signals to represent reception ultrasonic beams along alternately or cyclically different reception scan lines with respect to consecutive different frames extended into the ultrasonic beams as regards ultrasonic beams progressing along identical transmission scan lines in consecutive different frames.
