ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

Abstract: an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including a position sensor, a recognition unit, a transformation unit, a display controller, and an update unit is provided. the position sensor acquires position information of an ultrasound probe. the recognition unit recognizes, based on an ultrasound image acquired by scanning with an ultrasonic wave using the ultrasound probe, a scanning cross section scanned with the ultrasonic wave. the transformation unit uses an anatomical model in which a correct answer cross section on which ultrasonic examination is to be performed and a correct answer position of the correct answer cross section are registered, to transform a position indicated by the position information into the correct answer position associated with the anatomical model according to a transformation rule. the display controller displays extraction information related to the ultrasonic examination, which corresponds to the correct answer position, on a display unit. the update unit updates the transformation rule by using the correct answer position of the correct answer cross section corresponding to the scanning cross section recognized by the recognition unit and the position indicated by the position information.
