Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus wirelessly connected to a displayer includes: an image data generator that generates ultrasound image data based on a reception signal received from an ultrasound probe that transmits and receives ultrasound waves to and from a subject; and a hardware processor that wirelessly transmits the generated ultrasound image data to the displayer to display the ultrasound image data on the displayer, acquires refresh rate information of the ultrasound image data displayed on the displayer from the displayer, determines whether or not the refresh rate information is equal to or less than a first threshold value, and causes a notifier to notify of notification information indicating that display of the ultrasound image data on the displayer is poor due to deterioration of the wireless communication state when the refresh rate information is equal to or less than the first threshold value.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe includes transmission and reception sections, an acoustic lens, and a switch section. The transmission and reception sections include first, second, and third transmission and reception sections, while the second transmission and reception section is centrally positioned, and the first and the third transmission and reception sections are disposed symmetrically at both sides of the second transmission and reception section. The acoustic lens includes first, second, and third lens portions respectively corresponding to the first, the second, and the third transmission and reception sections. The switch section causes, when a traveling direction of the ultrasound is straight ahead, for example, the second transmission and reception section alone to operate, and causes, when the traveling direction of the ultrasound is to be deflected, the first or the third transmission and reception section to operate. The first and the third lens sections have an aspherical shape.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe and an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus are disclosed. According to one implementation, an ultrasound probe includes the following. A plurality of transducers are arrayed in at least a predetermined first direction and transmit ultrasound to a subject to receive a reflected wave. A convergence unit converges the ultrasound transmitted and received by the plurality of transducers to the first direction. A switching element turns off transmission and reception of the ultrasound of some of the plurality of transducers arrayed in the first direction. A direction switching setter performs switching operation of turning on and turning off of the switching element to deflect in the first direction a transmission/reception direction of the ultrasound by the plurality of transducers.
