An image analyzer detects a lesion for each frame (tomographic image). When the lesion is detected, lesion information (detection flag, position information, and size information) is produced. An indication controller causes a mark surrounding the lesion to be displayed when it is judged that a mark display condition is satisfied, based on the lesion information or the like. The indication controller causes the mark to be deleted from a screen when detection of the lesion is continued and a mark display restriction condition is satisfied.

Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and diagnosis assisting method

A main image includes a tomographic image and a reference image as ultrasonic images. A sub-image includes a site-of-interest map and a site-of-interest list. During execution of ultrasonic inspection, each time a new site of interest is identified, a site-of-interest symbol is added to the site-of-interest map and a site-of-interest record is added to the site-of-interest list. The position of the site-of-interest symbol is determined according to the position of a probe mark.
