Operation support system for ultrasound probe and operation support program for ultrasound probe

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an operation support program for an ultrasound probe, causing a computer to function as:

• a pre-treatment relative relationship calculation unit that calculates, based on a pre-treatment camera image obtained by imaging a probe detection mark attached to an ultrasound probe and a target detection mark attached to a treatment target with a camera before a treatment on a subject, a pre-treatment relative relationship that is a relative position and orientation relationship between the ultrasound probe and the treatment target in a case in which ultrasound is transmitted to and received from the subject for forming an ultrasound image before the treatment on the subject;
• a current relative relationship calculation unit that calculates, based on a current camera image obtained by imaging the probe detection mark and the target detection mark with the camera at a current time after a start of the treatment on the subject, a current relative relationship that is a relative position and orientation relationship between the ultrasound probe and the treatment target at the current time;
• and
• a probe control support unit that executes control of bringing the current relative relationship closer to the pre-treatment relative relationship.
