<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus by which a three-dimensional image with a high image quality can be obtained even while suppressing the inside temperature rise in an ultrasound probe. <P>SOLUTION: The inside temperature Tp of the ultrasound probe is detected by a temperature sensor (S3), usual scanning is carried out (S5) in the case the detected inside temperature Tp of the ultrasound probe is lower than the first set value T1 (S4), temperature rise suppressing scanning in which the transceiving or receiving of an ultrasound beam to an area of at least a part other than an area of interest is stopped is carried out (S9), three-dimensional image data is formed (S6), and thereafter the three-dimensional image is displayed (S7), in the case the inside temperature Tp is the first set value T1 or higher (S4). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
