Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus

Abstract

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes: a wireless communication unit connected to a communication line via a wireless relay device and configured to communicate with an information terminal via the communication line; and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit. The control unit reads a patient ID for specifying a patient, and transmits, together with the wireless communication unit, the patient ID to the wireless relay device. The wireless relay device receives a collation signal from the information terminal, and establishes wireless communication with the information terminal when the collation signal includes the patient ID. The control unit executes, together with the wireless communication unit, image transmission processing of transmitting ultrasonic image information, via the communication line, to the information terminal when the patient ID is in the collation signal transmitted from the information terminal to the wireless relay device.
