Abstract
An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound probe, and an apparatus main body wirelessly connected to the ultrasound probe, in which the ultrasound probe includes an image generation unit that generates an ultrasound image at a constant frame rate, a frame interval adjustment unit that adjusts a frame interval of the ultrasound image transmitted to the apparatus main body by skipping some frames of the ultrasound image transmitted to the apparatus main body per unit time in accordance with a transmission rate of the ultrasound image, and a probe side communication circuit that transmits the ultrasound image with the adjusted frame interval to the apparatus main body via wireless communication, and the apparatus main body includes a main body side communication circuit that receives the ultrasound image via the wireless communication from the ultrasound probe, a communication quality determination unit that determines a communication quality of the wireless communication on the basis of a ratio of a first number of frames of the ultrasound image received from the ultrasound probe per the unit time to a second number of frames of the ultrasound image skipped per the unit time in the ultrasound probe, and a communication quality display unit that displays information on the communication quality on a monitor.
