Abstract
Provided are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that enables a user to easily and accurately perform a comprehensive observation of an organ as an observation target regardless of a skill level, and a method of controlling the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes: a template memory in which a plurality of organ templates are stored; a three-dimensional ultrasound image acquisition unit that acquires a three-dimensional ultrasound image of an organ by transmitting and receiving an ultrasound beam using an ultrasound probe; a template selection unit that selects one organ template from among the plurality of organ templates in accordance with a posture of a subject; and a scanning progress status output unit that specifies a scanning progress status of the ultrasound probe for the organ by performing registration between the three-dimensional ultrasound image acquired by the three-dimensional ultrasound image acquisition unit and the one organ template selected by the template selection unit, and outputs the specified scanning progress status.
