Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for an examiner to perform an ultrasound examination on a breast of a subject includes: a voice acquisition sensor (3) that acquires a voice during the ultrasound examination; a voice analysis unit (24) that estimates an examination position of the subject by analyzing the voice acquired by the voice acquisition sensor (3); and a body mark setting unit (25) that selects and sets one of left and right breast body marks based on the examination position of the subject estimated by the voice analysis unit (24).
Claims20
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for an examiner to perform an ultrasound examination on a breast of a subject, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a voice acquisition sensing device configured to acquire a voice during the ultrasound examination;
- a processor configured to:
- extract a feature related to an examination position of the subject from the voice acquired by the voice acquisition sensing device;
- calculate a first probability that the examination position is a left breast and a second probability that the examination position is a right breast, based on the feature;
- estimate the examination position based on the first probability and the second probability;
- and
- select and set one of left and right breast body marks based on the examination position of the subject which is estimated.
A control method of an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for an examiner to perform an ultrasound examination on a breast of a subject, the control method comprising:
- acquiring a voice during the ultrasound examination;
- extracting a feature related to an examination position of the subject from the voice;
- calculating a first probability that the examination position is a left breast and a second probability that the examination position is a right breast, based on the feature;
- estimating the examination position based on the first probability and the second probability;
- and
- selecting and setting one of left and right breast body marks based on the estimated examination position of the subject.
