1. A diagnosis support device comprising:
a control unit configured to:
correlate a plurality of pixels included in a two-dimensional image with two or more classes including a biological tissue class, the two-dimensional image being generated by using a signal of a reflected wave of ultrasound transmitted inside a biological tissue through which blood passes and the two-dimensional image including the biological tissue;
generate a three-dimensional image of the biological tissue from a pixel group correlated with the biological tissue class; and
perform control of displaying the generated three-dimensional image of the biological tissue,
wherein the control unit is configured to process the signal of the reflected wave to generate the two-dimensional image at a speed of 15 frames per second to 90 frames per second, and, by processing one two-dimensional image within 11 msec to 66 msec on a graphics processing unit, generate the three-dimensional image of the biological tissue corresponding to a new two-dimensional image at a speed of 15 frames per second to 90 frames per second before generating a subsequent two-dimensional image each time the new two-dimensional image is generated so as to update the three-dimensional image in real time.
