Abstract
An image generating method of generating an acoustic image includes: reconstructing a temporary measurement image including an acoustic image, based on the signal data; accepting a partial designation of a region of interest in the temporary measurement image; while changing an acoustic velocity parameter, sequentially reconstructing a region of interest image including an acoustic image, based on the changed acoustic velocity parameter, in the region of interest; determining an appropriate value of the acoustic velocity parameter based on the region of interest image; and reconstructing an acoustic image in a region larger than the region of interest, based on the appropriate value of the acoustic velocity parameter, wherein in the temporary measurement image reconstruction step, a calculation amount per unit area for reconstructing the temporary measurement image is made smaller than a calculation amount per unit area for reconstructing the region of interest image.
