Original Abstract Submitted
A medical imaging apparatus includes a processor, in which the processor is configured to: acquire a position of an ultrasound probe that emits an ultrasound beam toward a breast of an examinee, which is in a compressed state via a compression plate; and in a case in which the position of the ultrasound probe in a direction orthogonal to a side surface of the compression plate on a chest wall side is equal to or smaller than a predetermined distance from the side surface and a predetermined switching condition is satisfied, perform control of switching to a steer mode or a trapezoidal mode in which an emission direction of the ultrasound beam is directed toward the chest wall side.
