Abstract
A medical diagnostic apparatus, such as an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, capable of performing various measurements or scans of a subject, including a measuring unit configured to measure data of the subject based on a scanned image, a monitor which displays the data and the image, an input device configured to input information of the subject and an interface such as a touch command screen (TCS) for selecting measurement items. When an operator selects a switch for a desired measurement item displayed on the TCS in a first form, the measuring unit measures the selected item. When the measurement is finished, the switch is displayed in a second form different from the first form.
