ULTRASONIC ANALYSIS DEVICE, ULTRASONIC ANALYSIS METHOD, AND ULTRASONIC ANALYSIS PROGRAM

摘要

[Problem] To evaluate the condition of a muscle in a relatively simple constitution without accompanying exposure.;[Solution] An ultrasonic analysis apparatus (3) comprises an interface module (35) configured to receive signals from a transmitter/receiver (2) which receives ultrasonic waves transmitted from a plurality of mutually different positions on a surface of a body (9) toward a muscle inside the body (9) and reflected from inside the body (9), an ultrasonic image generating module (321) configured to generate ultrasonic images corresponding to the respective positions respectively based on the signals inputted from the interface module (35), an image compositing module (322) configured to stitch the ultrasonic images at the respective positions to generate a stitched image, an area setting module (323) configured to set a region of interest for at least the stitched image and the ultrasonic image, and an index calculation module (324) configured to calculate an index related to the muscle from at least one of the respective images corresponding to the region of interest.
