Acoustic wave diagnostic apparatus and control method of acoustic wave diagnostic apparatus

An acoustic wave diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• a display unit that displays an acquired acoustic wave image;
• an operation unit that is used for a user to perform an input operation;
• and
• a processor that accepts designation of a measurement item relating to a measurement target through the operation unit, sets a detection and measurement algorithm on the basis of the accepted measurement item, accepts designation of a position of the measurement target on the acoustic wave image displayed on the display unit, through the operation unit, detects the measurement target and sets a caliper on the detected measurement target to perform measurement on the basis of the accepted position of the measurement target and the set detection and measurement algorithm, and causes the display unit to display a measurement result, detects a contour of the measurement target on the acoustic wave image, limits a movable range of the caliper on the contour detected by the contour detection unit, according to a modification request of a position of the caliper through the operation unit, and accepts a modification of the position of the caliper which is performed through the operation unit,
• wherein the processor measures the measurement target on the basis of the accepted modification of the position of the caliper, and causes the display unit to display a measurement result.
