Abstract
An image processing device for capturing an ultrasonic image is provided with a probe to generate an ultrasonic wave and receives a reflective wave reflected at an object. A detection unit to detect one or more physical quantities of the probe. A display unit to display a tomographic image showing a cross-section of a predetermined position of the object, out of the ultrasonic image of the object. A sensor information acquisition unit to acquire a detection result by a sensor unit as sensor information. In a tomographic image generation unit, regarding the sensor information as a parameter, a reference tomographic image is transformed according to a change of the parameter, to generate the tomographic image. A display control unit to control the display unit to display the generated tomographic image. The present technique can be applied to an ultrasonic examination device.
