ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING THEREIN COMPUTER-READABLE PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS

Provided is an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus for obtaining a tomographic image of a subject by transmitting and receiving an ultrasound with an ultrasound probe, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including: a hardware processor that: causes transmission and reception of an ultrasound for a probe element check with respect to each of a plurality of piezoelectric elements included in the ultrasound probe; converts signal features of reception signals obtained respectively in the plurality of piezoelectric elements at the time of the probe element check into image information indicating deterioration degrees of the plurality of piezoelectric elements, separately; and displays, based on a result of the conversion, a probe-condition mapping image expressed in a bar form by mapping images indicating the deterioration degrees of the plurality of piezoelectric elements in a row according to an arrangement of the plurality of piezoelectric elements in the ultrasound probe.
