Abstract
An ultrasonography apparatus includes: a processor configured to detect, from an image obtained by capturing a breast, a region of breast to which an acoustic matching member is not applied, the acoustic matching member being a member for reducing a difference in acoustic impedance between an ultrasound probe which outputs an ultrasonic wave to the breast and the breast; and an output unit that outputs a warning in a case where the region is detected by the processor.
