Abstract

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an image producing section which produces images of time-serial frames of an inspection subject based on echoes of ultrasonic waves emitted to the subject, a marking section which marks certain frame images among the frame images produced by the image producing section, and a cine memory which memorizes data of the frame images produced by the image producing section and the time-serial positions of the frame images marked by the marking section.
