Abstract
An ultrasound imaging apparatus includes a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to: generating first frequency spectrum data and second frequency spectrum data with regard to a first ultrasound signal and a second ultrasound signal, respectively; generating first ultrasound image data based on the first ultrasound signal; generating second ultrasound image data based on the second ultrasound signal; estimating a displacement amount including at least one of a positional change amount and a rotation angle of a subject depicted in the first ultrasound image data with respect to the subject depicted in the second ultrasound image data; correcting the first frequency spectrum data in accordance with the estimated displacement amount; calculating differential feature data by using the corrected first frequency spectrum data and the second frequency spectrum data; and generating analysis image data to which color information corresponding to the differential feature data is applied.
