Abstract
Motion information of a tissue at a plurality of positions in a subject to be examined which is obtained by transmission/reception of an ultrasonic wave is acquired. This information includes, for example, a quantitative value associated with the strain of the tissue in the subject or a quantitative value associated with a displacement in the subject. A predetermined motion timing of the subject is calculated on the basis of the motion information of the tissue. A first image for indicating the motion timings of the tissue at a plurality of positions in the subject is generated.
