Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control program for an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. According to an embodiment, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound probe that transmits and receives ultrasound waves to and from a subject in three dimensional space, a position sensor, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether or not a first region and a second region configure the same three dimensional region across a first scanning surface and a second scanning surface. The processor is configured to perform, based on the determining result, processing to obtain information representing the size of the three dimensional region in a direction intersecting the first scanning surface and the second scanning surface. The processor is configured to perform control for notifying the information.
