Abstract

An ultrasonic diagnosis device includes an ultrasonic oscillator, contained in a probe which can be inserted into a blood vessel, which can vary direction of transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves to receive an echo signal from the wall of the blood vessel thereby calculating information about the inner and outer walls of a blood vessel and obtaining cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of a blood vessel and the like.
