Abstract

In an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of this invention, the dimension of a sample volume can be adjusted both in the depth and azimuth directions in forming a transmission beam for both a B mode and a Doppler mode with the use of a common beam forming data, and an amount of radiation of the ultrasonic wave to a body to be examined can be reduced. In the B mode operation, transmission and reception of a sharply focusing ultrasonic beam are carried out based upon a B mode beam forming data, while in the Doppler mode, transmission and reception of a predetermined blurringly focusing ultrasonic beam are carried out based upon a beam forming data which is obtained by modifying the B mode beam forming data.
