Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes an ultrasonic probe and processing circuitry. The ultrasonic probe collects reflected wave data in a time series manner from a region of a subject in motion. The processing circuitry generates time-series volume data from the reflected wave data collected by the ultrasonic probe. The processing circuitry calculates at least either of volume information and motion information on a region of interest of the subject by performing processing including tracking using the volume data. The processing circuitry sets one or more feature positions that represent anatomical features in the region of interest. The processing circuitry displays an MPR image that passes through at least one of the feature positions. The processing circuitry outputs at least either of the volume information and the motion information that includes the feature positions as boundaries.
