Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and method of controlling ultrasound diagnostic apparatus

Abstract

Provided are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that can accurately capture an ultrasound image representing a parasternal left ventricular long axis view and a method of controlling an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes: an image recognition unit that recognizes a Valsalva sinus from an ultrasound image representing a parasternal left ventricular long axis view of a heart of a subject; a first evaluation unit that evaluates convexity of an anterior wall section of the Valsalva sinus recognized by the image recognition unit to acquire a first evaluation value; a second evaluation unit that evaluates linearity of a posterior wall section of the Valsalva sinus recognized by the image recognition unit to acquire a second evaluation value; and a notification unit that notifies a user of the first evaluation value acquired by the first evaluation unit and the second evaluation value acquired by the second evaluation unit.
