ABSTRACT:
In a tissue tracking imaging (TTI) method, a velocity distribution image from which a translation velocity component or a rotation velocity component resulting from movement of a body, etc. is removed is generated every time phase. By tracking a predetermined position of a tissue on the basis of the velocity distribution image and generating a motion information image, it is possible to provide a diagnostic image having higher reliability.
