Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a hardware processor which performs control of causing a display to display an ultrasound image subjected to attenuation correction, based on a received signal and setting of the attenuation correction, the attenuation correction correcting strength of the received signal lowered due to attenuation of ultrasound waves inside a subject based on a correction amount according to a reflection depth of the ultrasound waves inside the subject; and an input receiver which receives an input operation that designates an adjustment amount, wherein the hardware processor changes the setting of the attenuation correction based on the adjustment amount, and in the changing the setting of the attenuation correction, sets the correction amount, for each of different reflection depths, to an amount according to a product of the adjustment amount and a predetermined weighting factor, the predetermined weighting factor being set correspondingly to each of the reflection depths.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus generates an ultrasound image based on a reception signal obtained by an ultrasound probe to display the ultrasound image in a display, the reception signal being of ultrasound transmitted from the ultrasound probe toward an inside of a subject and reflected at the inside of the subject. The apparatus includes: an image display controller that causes the display to display at least one operable image indicating a target of a contact operation in a touch panel provided so as to overlaid on a screen of the display; and a processor that carries out predetermined processing corresponding to the operable image as the target of the contact operation in response to the contact operation in the touch panel. The processor skips the predetermined processing corresponding to a predetermined operable image among the operable image if a predetermined operation limit condition is satisfied.

Abstract: In an ultrasound diagnostic device, when an operation inputter receives operation input instructing to change a D-mode image to be displayed while a D-mode image is frozen or cine-played back, an image controller newly generates a D-mode image and a trace waveform with respect to another partial range on the time axis of Doppler spectrum data in accordance with the operation input, and controls a display device to display the generated D-mode image, a cardiac cycle period selector detects cardiac cycle periods shown in the newly generated D-mode image from the generated trace waveform, and selects at least one cardiac cycle period from among the detected cardiac cycle periods as a measurement target cardiac cycle period according to a selection criterion, and a measure measures a diagnostic parameter with use of part of the generated trace waveform corresponding to the selected measurement target cardiac cycle period.
