ABSTRACT:
With respect to a scanning plane of a subject having been injected with a contrast agent, an ultrasound transmission section6transmits for a plurality of times an ultrasonic pulse of such an intensity capable of collapsing the contrast agent. An ultrasound reception section5receives an echo signal cluster from the subject based on the ultrasonic pulses, and generates a plurality of RF data items through addition of the echo signal cluster using an adder5C. Based on the plurality of RF data items, a TIC/MTT measurement section25measures a time intensity curve (TIC), and then measures a mean transit time (MTT) of the blood flow based on the time intensity curve for display on a display section21.
