摘要: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus by which highly quantitative IMT (intima media thickness) measurement with little variations depending on examiners can be performed. The includes: an probe 100 for transmitting waves to object inspected and receiving echoes generated reflection of the in output reception signals; a signal processing unit 28 performing at least envelope detection signals outputted from generate data; boundary detecting 41 two boundaries representing intima blood vessel based difference or differential values data amounts change calculating 46 detected unit.
