Embodiment Construction

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described based on the drawings.

[0017] (1) Outline of Embodiment

[0018] The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus according to the embodiment includes a display, a camera, a support mechanism, and a control unit. Ultrasound images are displayed on the display. The camera captures the front space including the examiner from the display or its vicinity, and generates a camera image. The support mechanism is a mechanism for supporting the display, and includes a drive source for changing at least one of the position and posture of the display. The control unit controls the drive source based on the examiner image included in the camera image. The control unit may also be referred to as a controller.

[0019] According to the above configuration, at least one of the position and posture of the display is automatically changed in accordance with the position of the examiner in the front space and the like. For example, the orientation of ...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. The display (16) is provided with a camera (24). The representative coordinates of the subject are calculated by analyzing the camera image (S12). The orientation of the display (16) is controlled such that the representative coordinates enter the target area in the camera image (S18). On the basis of the camera image, the position and orientation of the display (16) can also be controlled so that illumination shooting does not occur (S20).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, and more particularly, to the control of the orientation of a display. Background technique [0002] An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is a medical apparatus that forms an ultrasonic image based on a received signal obtained by transmitting ultrasonic waves to a subject (living body) and receiving reflected waves from the inside of the subject. As an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, various ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses are put into practical use. Among them, a cart-type ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus will be described. An operation panel is supported by a main body of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus via a lift mechanism. A support mechanism is provided on a pedestal provided on the back side of the operation panel, and the display is held by the support mechanism. The support mechanism is a multi-joint mechanism. The position and posture of the display are changed to a...
