Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes index image data generating circuitry and controlling circuitry. The index image data generating circuitry is configured to generate index image data indicating a relative positional relationship between extending direction information and information indicating a scanned position by an ultrasound wave transmitted from an ultrasound probe, wherein the extending direction information indicates a blood vessel extending direction and is generated on a basis of volume data representing a three-dimensional region that includes at least a part of the blood vessel region of a subject. The controlling circuitry is configured to cause a monitor to display the index image data.
