Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes: an image generator that generates ultrasound image data based on a reception signal received from an ultrasound probe that sends and receives ultrasound waves; a fastener that attaches the ultrasound probe to a subject and fastens the ultrasound probe on the subject such that a pressure applied to the subject to which the ultrasound probe is attached is adjustable; and a hardware processor. The hardware processor controls driving of the fastener, based on difference information between before fastening the ultrasound probe and during/after fastening the ultrasound probe, the difference information being on at least one of positional information on a position of an observation target of the subject, angle information on an angle of the observation target, and pressure information on a pressure applied to the subject.
