Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display an image suitable for diagnosis by compatibly acquiring a reflectance tomographic image and an elastic image.SOLUTION: A control means executes first ultrasonic transmission/reception processing optimum for acquisition of tomographic image and second ultrasonic transmission/reception processing optimum for acquisition of elastic image. The first ultrasonic transmission/reception processing is suitable for acquisition of reflectance tomographic data to be executed by an ordinary ultrasonic apparatus, and the second ultrasonic transmission/reception processing is suitable for acquisition of elastic image data. The control means executes the first or second ultrasonic transmission/reception processing at temporally-different timing. Namely, in a reflectance tomographic data acquisition time, the first ultrasonic transmission/reception processing is executed to perform an ultrasonic transmission/reception optimum for the reflectance tomographic image; and in an elastic data acquisition time, the second ultrasonic transmission/reception processing, for example, such as large amplitude ultrasonic transmission or multi-wave ultrasonic transmission, is executed to perform an ultrasonic transmission/reception optimum for elastic image calculation.
