摘要：An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the present invention includes:an ultrasonic signal processing section, which performs transmission processing fortransmitting an ultrasonic wave toward a subject's blood vessel by driving a probe andreception processing for generating a received signal based on the ultrasonic wavereflected from the subject's blood vessel and received at the probe; a tomographicimage processing section, which generates a tomographic image based on the receivedsignal; a boundary detecting section, which detects the lumen-intima and media-adventitia boundaries of the blood vessel based on the received signal or the
tomographic image; a vascular wall thickness calculating section, which calculates, as avascular wall thickness value, the interval between the lumen-intima and media-adventitiaboundaries detected by the boundary detecting section; a reliability determining section,which determines the reliability of the vascular wall thickness value by a signal feature ofthe received signal or an image information feature of the tomographic image at alocation on the lumen-intima and/or media-adventitia boundaries detected; and a controlsection, which decides, in accordance with the decision made by the reliability determiningsection, that the vascular wall thickness value be defined as an intima-media thickness.
