Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. This processing circuitry collects a first ultrasound signal including one or more harmonic components. By executing weighed addition processing where a coefficient distribution is applied to the first ultrasound signal for different directions of two or more dimensions, the processing circuitry generates a second ultrasound signal including components of each order at a ratio different, at a specific frequency, from a ratio among the frequency components included in the first ultrasound signal.
