Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 1 includes an image acquisition unit 8 that transmits an ultrasound beam from an ultrasound probe 18 to a subject to acquire an ultrasound image, an optic nerve recognition unit 9 that performs image analysis on the ultrasound image acquired by the image acquisition unit 8 to recognize an optic nerve of the subject, an optic nerve evaluation unit 10 that evaluates a shape of the optic nerve of the subject recognized by the optic nerve recognition unit 9 on the basis of an anatomical structure, and an operation guide unit 12 that guides a user to operate the ultrasound probe 18 so as to acquire an ultrasound image for measurement of the optic nerve of the subject on the basis of an evaluation result obtained by the optic nerve evaluation unit 10.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 1 includes an ultrasound probe 18; an image acquisition unit 8 that performs transmission of an ultrasound beam from the ultrasound probe 18 toward a subject to acquire an ultrasound image; a display unit 7 that displays the acquired ultrasound image; a delineation target detection unit 9 that performs an image analysis on the acquired ultrasound image to detect a foreign matter entered a subcutaneous portion of the subject and a peripheral tissue of the subject consisting of blood vessels or nerves positioned around the foreign matter; a foreign matter removal route setting unit 11 that sets a removal route of the foreign matter to avoid the peripheral tissue on the basis of the detected foreign matter and the detected peripheral tissue; and a foreign matter removal route guide unit 12 that provides, to a user, guidance on the set removal route.
