Abstract

An ultrasound diagnostic device generates an ultrasound image based on an echo signal from a subject. The ultrasound diagnostic device includes an ultrasonic probe that receives echo signals, an interface that allows an operator to designate position information of a local region of an ultrasound image, and signal processing means that changes the sound speed in the local region based on the position information when reconstructing the echo signals and reconstructing an ultrasound image, so that the sound speed is different from the sound speed in regions other than the local region. Herein, the local region is local in both the azimuth direction and the depth direction.
