PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasound diagnostic system adapted to provide additional information together with an elastic image. SOLUTION: This ultrasound diagnostic system comprises: a probe for providing echo signals from a target object and information relating to pressure applied to the target object; an elastic image processor for producing the elastic image and additional information related thereto based on the echo signals and pressure relating information; and a display part for displaying the elastic image and the additional information which are inputted from the elastic image processor. The additional information includes an elastic image map and a strain ratio of a medium. The elastic image processor calculates the strain ratio based on the echo signals and the pressure relating information and calculates a constriction speed based on the strain ratio and the frame rate to form the elastic image map showing a relationship between the constriction speed and the strain ratio.
