Abstract
A delay processor includes a plurality of delay units and individually delays reception signals which are respectively output from a plurality of transducers. A signal combiner combines the delayed reception signals to generate a phase-aligned reception signal. An evaluation value computing unit finds a noise evaluation value for the phase-aligned reception signal based on the delayed reception signals. A noise reducing unit includes an adjustment unit which performs a smoothing operation using a morphological operation on the noise evaluation value to convert the noise the evaluation value into a weight, and multiplies the phase-aligned reception signal by the weight, to perform a noise reducing process. An image generator generates ultrasound image data based on reception signals obtained by performing the noise reducing process, and displays an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound image data.
