Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate confirmation that an affected part has been accurately irradiated with therapeutic ultrasonic waves in therapy using an ultrasonic therapeutic device. A control unit executes a therapeutic ultrasonic wave transmission process, an irradiation region image generation process, and a B-mode image generation process. The therapeutic ultrasonic wave transmission process causes an ultrasonic vibrator to transmit therapeutic ultrasonic waves. The irradiation region image generation process causes an ultrasonic probe to transmit a plurality of ultrasonic waves at different timings, synthesizes a plurality of received signals based on the plurality of ultrasonic waves that are reflected by biological tissue and received by the ultrasonic probe, and generates irradiation region data based on harmonic components of the received signals. The B-mode image generation process uses any one of the plurality of received signals to generate B-mode image data of the biological tissue.
