Abstract
A signal processing apparatus of an embodiment includes processing circuitry and control circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of IQ signals obtained by performing a plurality of processing with different conditions on reflected wave signals generated at a transducer element included in an ultrasound probe. The processing circuitry generates a compound signal compounded by non-linear processing of the IQ signals. The control circuitry causes a display to display image data based on the compound signal.
