Abstract
An ultrasonic processing apparatus includes a viscoelastic coefficient calculation unit that calculates a viscoelastic coefficient of an object from an ultrasonic signal acquired through an oscillator of a probe; and a spatial change amount calculation unit that calculates spatial change amount of the viscoelastic coefficient calculated by the viscoelastic coefficient calculation unit and outputs the calculated spatial change amount as brightness information when displaying an image relating to the viscoelastic coefficient.
