An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes: a transmitting section for
driving a probe transmitting an ultrasonic wave to a subject; a receiving
section for amplifying a reflected echo, produced by getting the
ultrasonic wave reflected by a tissue and received at the probe, to
generate a received signal; an image processing section for generating a
tomographic image of the subject based on the signal; a region setting
section for setting an arbitrary range of the tomographic image as a
region of interest; a motion information gathering section for getting
the motion information of the subject at measuring points on the subject
based on the signal; a property value calculating section for calculating
the property values of target tissues of the subject, specified by the
measuring points, by reference to the motion information; and a
distribution plotting section, which gets the property measured values
and plots a frequency distribution of the property values based on the
property values of the target tissues located within the region of
interest set by the setting section.
