Abstract
A phased-array ultrasonic probe transmits/receives ultrasonic beams to/from a subject to electronically scan a predetermined part of the subject. A calculation unit calculates cross-correlation function data between adjacent scanning lines obtained by the electronic scan. The cross-correlation function data is supplied to a DSC through a memory. The DSC superimposes organ outline data obtained based on the cross-correlation function data, upon a tomographic image, and an image obtained by the superimposition is displayed on a monitor.
