Summary: | To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus capable of reducing deterioration in sensitivity due to the mounting of an acoustic coupler onto an ultrasonic probe.SOLUTION: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a control unit. The acquisition unit acquires acoustic coupler information indicating a mounting state of the acoustic coupler onto an ultrasonic transmission/reception surface in an ultrasonic probe having the ultrasonic transmission/reception surface for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a subject and receiving a reflection wave of the ultrasonic wave reflected by the subject. The control unit controls a transmission voltage applied to the ultrasonic probe for causing the ultrasonic probe to output the ultrasonic wave on the basis of the acoustic coupler information acquired by the acquisition unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】超音波プローブに音響カプラを装着したことによる感度の低下を小さくできる超音波診断装置を提供する。【解決手段】実施形態の超音波診断装置は、取得部と、制御部と、を持つ。取得部は、被検体に超音波を送信し、前記被検体により反射された前記超音波の反射波を受信する超音波送受信面を有する超音波プローブにおける前記超音波送受信面に対する音響カプラの装着状態を示す音響カプラ情報を取得する。制御部は、前記取得部により取得された前記音響カプラ情報に基づいて、前記超音波プローブに超音波を出力させるために前記超音波プローブに付与する送信電圧を制御する。【選択図】図1 |
