Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method of an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that enable a user to easily use information stored in a tag of an ultrasound image are provided. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus (1) displays an ultrasound image on which a breast schema image showing a position of an ultrasound probe (2) in imaging is superimposed, and includes a text information conversion unit (17) that converts the position of the ultrasound probe (2) plotted on the breast schema image into text information, and a text information storage unit (18) that stores the text information converted by the text information conversion unit (17) in a tag attached to the ultrasound image.
Claims8
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that displays an ultrasound image on which a breast schema image showing a position of an ultrasound probe in imaging is superimposed, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to
- convert the position of the ultrasound probe plotted on the breast schema image into text information, by:
- extracting, from the breast schema image superimposed on the ultrasound image, a probe mark representing the position of the ultrasound probe by calculating a difference between the breast schema image and a template of a breast schema,
- calculating a position of a center of the probe mark with reference to a center point of the template, and
- converting the position of the center of the probe mark into the text information as the position of the ultrasound probe;
- and
- store the converted text information in association with the ultrasound image.
A control method of an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that displays an ultrasound image on which a breast schema image showing a position of an ultrasound probe in imaging is superimposed, the method comprising:
- converting the position of the ultrasound probe plotted on the breast schema image into text information, by:
- extracting, from the breast schema image superimposed on the ultrasound image, a probe mark representing the position of the ultrasound probe by calculating a difference between the breast schema image and a template of a breast schema,
- calculating a position of a center of the probe mark with reference to a center point of the template, and
- converting the position of the center of the probe mark into the text information as the position of the ultrasound probe;
- and
- storing the converted text information in association with the ultrasound image.
