Abstract
A converting circuitry convert position information on at least one of an ultrasonic probe and a scan area, used in a past ultrasonic scan, into first position information based on a predetermined coordinate system. The converting circuitry further convert position information on at least one of ultrasonic probe and a scan position, used in a current ultrasonic scan, into second position information based on the predetermined coordinate system. The display circuitry determine the position of a first marker, which represents at least one of the ultrasonic probe and scanning area used in a past ultrasonic scan, and a second marker, which represents at least one of the ultrasonic probe and scanning area used in a current ultrasonic scan, based on first position information and second position information, and display the first and second markers.
