PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ultrasonic diagnostic device capable of improving the accuracy of identifying the movement of a probe, in the ultrasonic diagnostic device which identifies the movement of the probe and executes a command that is associated with the movement of the probe.SOLUTION: The ultrasonic diagnostic device comprises: a probe which sends and receives ultrasonic waves to and from a subject; a movement identification part which identifies the movement of the probe on the basis of movement frame data obtained by sending and receiving ultrasonic waves by the probe; and a control part which executes a command that is associated with the movement of the probe. The movement identification part obtains the magnitude of the movement of the probe at each time by using the mean value of the displacement of a measurement point within a ROI provided in the movement frame data.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】探触子の動きを識別して、探触子の動きに関連付けられた命令を実行する超音波診断装置において、探触子の動きの識別精度を高めることができる超音波診断装置を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の超音波診断装置は、超音波を被検体に送受信する探触子と、該探触子による超音波の送受により得られた動きフレームデータに基づいて、探触子の動きを識別する動き識別部と、探触子の動きに関連付けられた命令を実行する制御部とを備え、動き識別部は、各時刻における前記探触子の動きの大きさを、動きフレームデータに設けられたROI内の計測点の変位の平均値を用いて求めるものである。【選択図】 図１
