Ultrasound diagnostic system and ultrasound diagnostic apparatus

An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus connected to an external information processing apparatus, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• a generation unit that generates image data based on reception data;
• and
• a management unit that manages an application program (AP) group composed of a plurality of APs for processing the image data,
• wherein the AP group is provided in the external information processing apparatus or is provided across the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and the external information processing apparatus,
• the management unit manages selection of an AP set from the AP group and manages an operation of the AP set, based on management information representing interrelationships between the plurality of APs constituting the AP group, and
• the AP set consists of a plurality of APs that operate together during an ultrasound examination.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program executed in an ultrasound diagnostic system, the ultrasound diagnostic system including an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that generates image data based on reception data, and an external information processing apparatus connected to the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, in which an application program (AP) group composed of a plurality of APs for processing the image data is provided in the external information processing apparatus or is provided across the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and the external information processing apparatus, the program comprising:

• a function of managing selection of an AP set from the AP group based on management information representing interrelationships between the plurality of APs constituting the AP group;
• and
• a function of managing an operation of the AP set based on the management information,
• wherein the AP set consists of a plurality of APs that operate together during an ultrasound examination.
