The processing circuitry calculates, based on first ultrasound information relating to a displacement over time of an organ that makes a periodic movement, a function relating to a clutter component originating from the organ, and calculates, based on the function and second ultrasound information relating to a displacement over time of the organ after pressure is applied to the organ, a shear wave that propagates through the organ by the applied pressure.
