- Reference numeral 6 denotes a new data multiplier which performs a multiplication operation of the output signal of the AD converter 3 with the new data force ⁇ input and the weight function of the output signal of the weight function generator 7.
- the weighting function generator 7 receives the new data AN for each pixel output from the AD converter 3 and the old data AO for each pixel output from the frame memory 5, and calculates the absolute value of the difference as difference data. From the values IA 0-AN I and the new data AN, a weighting function " ⁇ " for each pixel is generated as shown in the following equation.
- the weight function for multiplying the new data AN in the new data multiplier 6 is “1 ⁇ ” calculated from the weight function “ ⁇ ” of the equation (1).

Will be able to do it. That is, the coefficient of the moving part is small, It is possible to perform an operation such as increasing the coefficient at the place where the image is displayed.
- I AO -ANI of the difference data as a parameter of the coefficient, it is possible to detect whether the object is moving or not, and select a coefficient such as a valve of the heart where the brightness of the image changes greatly. Afterimage can be reduced to reduce afterimages.
- I AO-AN I plane is a function that changes with respect to the new data AN as shown in Fig. 3, even if the difference data I AO-AN I are equal, low brightness-high It is possible to discriminate between a change in brightness and a change from high brightness to low brightness.For example, when scanning the liver, the probe is moved even if reflection from high brightness tissue was detected in the previous frame. Therefore, in the next frame, if the probe moves to the position of the low-luminance blood vessel selection, the ⁇ value at point P in Fig. 3 will be selected, and the averaging process will be relatively light. Blood vessels can be improved (closer to a still image).
- the function f may be f (AO, IAO-ANI) instead of f (AN, IAO-ANI).
- a moving part and a non-moving part are detected in the same frame, and a weighting function that is an appropriate averaging coefficient is selected for each of the moving parts. It is possible to perform sufficient noise removal while improving the follow-up performance, and the practical effect is great.
