BLOOD VESSEL SEARCH DEVICE, ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND BLOOD VESSEL SEARCH METHOD

摘要

An ultrasonic measurement control unit of an ultrasonic measurement apparatus generates received data by transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a blood vessel and receiving the ultrasonic wave reflected from the blood vessel. A blood vessel determination unit determines the blood vessel from the received data. A transmission direction setting unit sets the transmission direction of the ultrasonic wave for measuring the diameter of the blood vessel using the determination result of the blood vessel position. A blood vessel diameter measurement unit measures the diameter of the blood vessel by transmitting the ultrasonic wave in the transmission direction.
