Abstract
There are provided an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus which can obtain a cross-sectional image in which a structure of a lesion part is accurately reproduced. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus generates a cross-sectional image orthogonal to an observation plane on the basis of a video which is acquired during scanning by an ultrasound probe and in which a lesion part is imaged, and includes a pseudo orthogonal cross section generation unit that sets a cross section extraction line passing through the lesion part on one frame image among a plurality of frame images constituting the video, and generates a pseudo orthogonal cross-sectional image orthogonal to the observation plane by arranging, in time series, pixel values on the cross section extraction line in the plurality of frame images; and a pseudo orthogonal cross section deformation unit that non-rigidly deforms the pseudo orthogonal cross-sectional image in a horizontal direction to generate a normalized pseudo orthogonal cross-sectional image.
