Abstract
According to the present invention, in an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method for an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, an ultrasound image generation unit is configured to generate an ultrasound image including an examination area, and an optical camera is configured to generate an optical image including a subject under examination in a state in which an ultrasound probe is in contact. A display control unit is configured to display the ultrasound image and the optical image on a monitor, and a first image memory is configured to store the ultrasound image and the optical image generated in a certain period in a past from a timing designated by a user. An image selection unit is configured to select a single frame of the ultrasound image and a single frame of the optical image from among the ultrasound images and the optical images stored in the first image memory, and a second image memory is configured to store the single frame of the ultrasound image and the single frame of the optical image in association with each other. With this, it is possible to eliminate the time and effort required to reselect a desired image in a case where the optical image is used instead of a body mark.
