Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a display that displays a B-mode image in which at least a blood vessel region is imaged; a processor configured to accept designation of a position of the blood vessel region on the B-mode image; detect a vascular wall by performing image analysis on the B-mode image on the basis of the designated position of the blood vessel region; calculate a cross-sectional area of a blood vessel on the basis of the detected vascular wall; set a Doppler gate within the blood vessel region on the B-mode image on the basis of the detected vascular wall; calculate a blood flow velocity on the basis of Doppler data in the Doppler gate; and measure a blood flow volume on the basis of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel and the blood flow velocity, and display a measurement result on the display.
