Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a first hardware processor. The first hardware processor is configured to estimate and generate weighted imaging-purpose data with weighting of transmission ultrasound waves emitted by transducers of an ultrasound probe from not-weighted imaging-purpose data obtained without assigning weights to transmission ultrasound waves by using estimation-purpose data for estimating weighted imaging-purpose data from not-weighted imaging-purpose data, the estimation-purpose data being obtained by machine learning of weighted imaging-purpose training data obtained by assigning weights to transmission ultrasound waves and not-weighted imaging-purpose training data obtained without assigning weights to transmission ultrasound waves.
