Abstract
[Problem] To provide an ultrasonic apparatus that enables one to find a factor that lowers reliability of a measurement value relating to elasticity of biological tissue. [Means for Solution] An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprises a control circuit executing: a measurement-value calculating functionof calculating a measurement value relating to elasticity of the biological tissue based on echo signals from ultrasonic detecting pulses; an index-value calculating functionof calculating an index value indicating a degree of reliability for the measurement value for each of a plurality of factors that deteriorate the reliability of the measurement value based on the echo signals from the ultrasonic detecting pulses; and a notifying function of notifying a factor corresponding to at least one index value for which the degree of reliability does not meet a required standard.
