ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus includes an image processing controlling unit that creates a guide image which corresponds to an anatomical position and orientation of a two-dimensional ultrasound image of an interior of a subject based on anatomical image data which is previously stored as anatomical image data of a human body; and a display unit that outputs and displays various types of images including the guide image and the two-dimensional ultrasound image so that plural images are simultaneously output and displayed.
