Zusammenfassung: | An ultrasonic diagnosis apparatus comprises a probe for transmitting an ultrasonic beam toward a body having a blood vessel therein and a plurality of receiver circuits corresponding to sampling points of the body in a direction approximately perpendicular to the beam to produce respective intensities of reflected waves from the sampling points. A distribution of the reflected-wave intensities from the receiver circuits is measured at a predetermined interval of time. A shift between two successive intensity distributions thus measured is detected by a correlator, thereby determining a blood flow speed, in the blood vessel of the body, in the direction approximately perpendicular to the beam. |
