ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic imaging apparatus devised to implement contrast imaging of enhanced S/N ratios. The apparatus comprises: an exciting unit for generating ultrasonic waves by stimulating a contrast medium introduced into a target object; a contrast image creating unit for creating a contrast image based on the ultrasonic waves generated through stimulation; an echo generating unit for generating echoes of the ultrasonic waves transmitted into the target object; an echo image creating unit for creating an echo image based on the generated echoes; and a display unit for superimposing the contrast image and the echo image for display.
