Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, ultrasonic imaging method, and storage medium

1 . An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:

a hardware processor,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to sequentially perform ultrasonic imaging of a first patient in each of a plurality of routines by controlling an imager to generate ultrasonic image data, by ultrasonic imaging of the first patient based on information on a routine set including the plurality of routines of ultrasound imaging using a parameter, and

wherein the hardware processor is configured such that, when a parameter of a selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, the hardware processor changes a parameter of one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines according to the modified parameter, wherein the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines and the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines are common to each other.

2 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the information on the routine set corresponds to a plurality of routines for a second patient who has been imaged.

3 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein personal information of the second patient is deleted from the information of the routine set.

4 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the information of the routine set includes ultrasonic image data of the second patient that has been acquired before in each routine;

wherein, at a time of the ultrasonic imaging in each routine of the routine set, the hardware processor is configured to display, on a display part, the ultrasonic image data of the second patient that has been acquired before in each routine.

5 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to display the ultrasonic image data that has been acquired before on the display part in a different manner depending on whether the second patient is the first patient or a patient different from the first patient.

6 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to display on the display part a first operation element to accept a user operation for transition to display processing of the ultrasound image data of the second patient that has been acquired before or modification processing of the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines.

7 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to accept a user operation for addition of a new routine to the plurality of routines in the routine set and to perform ultrasound imaging in the new routine by controlling the imager.

8 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the hardware processor is configured to display on a display part a second operation element to accept a user operation for transition to the addition processing of the new routine.

9 . The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the hardware process is configured such that, when the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, the hardware processor changes the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines to the modified parameter.

10 . An ultrasonic imaging method comprising:

sequentially performing ultrasonic imaging of a first patient in each of a plurality of routines by control of an imager which generates ultrasonic image data by the ultrasonic imaging of the first patient based on information on a routine set including the plurality of routines of ultrasound imaging using a parameter; and changing, when a parameter of a selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, a parameter of one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines according to the modified parameter, wherein the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines and the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines are common to each other.

11 . The ultrasonic imaging method according to claim 10 , comprising:

when the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, changing the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines to the modified parameter.

12 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer, is configured to cause the computer to:

sequentially perform ultrasonic imaging of a first patient in each of a plurality of routines by control of an imager which generates ultrasonic image data by the ultrasonic imaging of a subject of a patient based on information on a routine set including the plurality of routines of ultrasound imaging using a parameter; and

change, when a parameter of a selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, a parameter of one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines according to the modified parameter, wherein the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines and the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines are common to each other.

13 . The non-transitory storage medium according to claim 12 , wherein the program, when executed by the computer, is configured to cause the computer to:

change, when the parameter of the selected one of the plurality of routines is modified, the parameter of the one or more routines downstream of the selected one of the plurality of routines to the modified parameter.
