Abstract
In an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus the of the present invention, a two-dimensional image generation unit generates a plurality of two-dimensional ultrasound images while shifting an angle or a position of a scanning plane using a transducer array in a state where an ultrasound probe is fixed by being in contact with an examination location of a subject. A motion determination unit sequentially calculates a similarity degree of at least two two-dimensional ultrasound images, and sequentially determines whether or not a motion of the ultrasound probe is within a predetermined reference value according to the similarity degree. Then, a three-dimensional image generation unit extracts the two-dimensional ultrasound images for which the motion of the ultrasound probe is determined to be within the reference value, to generate a three-dimensional ultrasound image, and a display control unit displays the three-dimensional ultrasound image on a monitor.
