Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus can be connected with an ultrasound probe including a plurality of elements adapted to transmit ultrasound signals and to receive reflected wave signals from a subject or from the air. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry diagnoses states of the elements based on a feature value of the reflected wave signal. The processing circuitry also prepares, based on the states, deterioration degree information indicative of the deterioration degrees of the elements. The processing circuitry superimposes the deterioration degree information onto an ultrasound image of the subject and causes a display to display a resultant image.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises processing circuitry configured to set a region of interest for a locator image, automatically set an imaging condition based on the region of interest, and cause a sequence control circuitry to perform imaging based on the imaging condition, the sequence control circuitry performing the imaging.
