ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING THEREIN COMPUTER-READABLE PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for generating a tomographic image of a subject by transmitting and receiving an ultrasound, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including: a hardware processor that: detects a blood vessel imaged in the tomographic image; determines whether an image of the blood vessel which has been detected falls under either a short axis view or a long axis view by an image analysis of the tomographic image; and sets a steering angle of an ultrasound beam used in measuring conditions of the detected blood vessel or a blood flow velocity in the detected blood vessel, based on a determination result of the image of the blood vessel.
