ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic diagnostic system prepares a diagnostic data including image by transmitting ultrasonic pulses to a living tissue, and receiving and analyzing reflected wave of the ultrasonic pulses, and has an analytical processing unit to measure a backscattering intensity by using a scattering wave from a region of interest in the living tissue on a basis of the reflected wave which is received, and to detect a variation frequency of the measured backscattering intensity to obtain the diagnostic data to be available.
