Puncture needle, ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, and control method of ultrasound diagnostic apparatus
A puncture needle includes a shaft-part, a needle-tip-part disposed at a tip of the shaft-part, and processed-parts that are arranged on an outer peripheral part of the shaft-part along a length direction of the shaft-part and form an arithmetic progression in which arrangement intervals gradually decrease toward the needle-tip-part, wherein among the processed-parts, an arrangement interval between a first-processed-part which is separated from the needle-tip-part by a predetermined distance and is closest to the needle-tip-part and a second-processed-part which is second closest to the needle-tip-part is equal to or less than a tolerance of the arithmetic progression, or a distance from the needle-tip-part to the first-processed-part which is closest to the needle-tip-part is equal to or less than the tolerance of the arithmetic progression and equal to a difference between the arrangement interval between the first-processed-part and the second-processed-part which is second closest to the needle-tip-part and the tolerance.
