A verification mode execution unit that executes a verification mode for verifying an operation of an ultrasound transducer array in which a plurality of ultrasound transducers are arranged includes an ultrasound image data generation unit that generates ultrasound image data of each pixel corresponding to each ultrasound transducer from a transmission and reception signal of each ultrasound transducer, and a failure channel detection unit that analyzes the generated ultrasound image data to detect a failed failure transducer channel, in which the transducer channel is a channel that includes the ultrasound transducer and that generates the ultrasound image data of the pixel, and the failure channel detection unit changes a determination criterion for determining the failure in accordance with a condition related to an influence degree on an acquired ultrasound image. As a result, provided is an ultrasound diagnostic system that can provide a mechanism for a user such as a medical worker and a service man who performs maintenance or inspection to detect and to notify of disconnections of the ultrasound transducer and a transmission line such as a signal line of the ultrasound transducer in a simple and automatic manner on a daily basis to specify a failure channel.
An ultrasound diagnostic system that acquires an ultrasound image of a part to be observed of a subject and performs diagnosis, the ultrasound diagnostic system comprising:
