Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To upgrade precision in measurement of a vascular diameter using an ultrasound diagnosis system.SOLUTION: In Fig.5 (A), a B-mode image 24R acquired at rest is shown. A reference marker M is produced with the B-mode image 24R as a tomographic image of a reference time phase. In Fig.5 (B), a B-mode image that is sequentially formed over plural time phases is shown. In the Fig.5 (B), a position of a blood vessel BV is deviated from a position at rest. In the case of a state shown in the Fig.5 (B), a user adjusts the position of a probe while looking at the B-mode image 24 so that the reference marker M will overlap a front wall FW and back wall BW of the blood vessel BV. Accordingly, a position at which a vascular diameter is measured is corrected. Preferably, the vascular diameter can be measured at the same position as the position at rest.
