PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately display parameter image data in a desired diastolic heartbeat time phase.;SOLUTION: A motion parameter measuring unit 9 two-dimensionally measures a motion parameter of a myocardial tissue by a tracking process on time-series ultrasound image data acquired by transmission and reception of ultrasound waves to and from a subject. On the other hand, a time phase setting unit 8 adds a diastolic heartbeat time phase with reference to the systole end, which is set on the basis of a systole end specified by a time phase where a cardiac cavity area of the ultrasound image data is the smallest and a diastole end specified by an R wave in an electrocardiographic waveform of the subject, to each of time-series parameter image data sets generated by a parameter image data generating unit 10 on the basis of the motion parameter. An image data extracting unit 11 then extracts a parameter image data set to which the diastolic heartbeat time phase closest to a desired diastolic heartbeat time phase set by an input unit 13 is added, and displays the extracted parameter image data set on a display unit 12.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
