Abstract:
Provided is an ultrasound imaging system configured to generate data of an ultrasound image based on an echo signal received by each of a plurality of elements included in an ultrasound transducer, the ultrasound imaging system includes: a determining circuit configured to determine, using a signal corresponding to the echo signal obtained by receiving from each of the plurality of elements, concerning the elements, whether a decrease in reception sensitivity occurs; and a control circuit configured to cause, based on a position of an element where the determining circuit determines that the decrease in the reception sensitivity occurs, a display to display at least one of display data indicating an image region where sensitivity decreases in the ultrasound image and information for informing that a sensitivity decreased element in which a decrease in reception sensitivity occurs is present.
