Ultrasound diagnostic imaging apparatus

An ultrasound diagnostic imaging apparatus which generates ultrasound image data based on a reception signal generated by an ultrasound probe, which transmits and receives ultrasound to and from a test subject, and displays an ultrasound image, the apparatus comprising:

• a cine-memory that stores cine-image data of the ultrasound image which is live;
• a determiner that determines whether or not to retain the cine-image data, which is stored in the cine-memory before a transition from a display screen having the ultrasound image into a display screen having a predetermined number of more images, after the transition;
• and
• a hardware processor that indicates, according to a determination result of the determiner, an arrangement of the ultrasound image, which is active, in a display screen transitioned next and a setting state of retention of the cine-image data in the cine-memory before and after the transition, generates a display screen including a first button for accepting an input of the transition into the display screen, and displays the display screen on a display.
