Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and method of controlling ultrasound diagnostic apparatus

Abstract

Provided are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that can easily and accurately correct a contour of an intracardiac cavity and a method of controlling the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an intracardiac cavity extraction unit that extracts an intracardiac cavity from an ultrasound image in which a heart of a subject is imaged; a correction possibility estimation unit that analyzes a contour of the extracted intracardiac cavity and estimates a possibility of correction in each portion of the contour; a control point specifying unit that specifies a control point on the contour based on the estimated possibility of correction; an input device for a user to perform an input operation; a correction operation reception unit that receives a correction operation performed by the user via the input device on the specified control point; and a contour correction unit that corrects the contour based on the received correction operation.
