    Abstract: In an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and a control method of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus of the present invention, a posture sensor detects whether an orientation of a monitor is a vertically long posture or a laterally long posture, and a display control unit displays an ultrasound image on a display screen on the basis of the orientation of the monitor. A hidden region detection unit detects whether or not a hidden region that is not displayed on the display screen is present in the ultrasound image, and a blood vessel detection unit detects a blood vessel in the ultrasound image. Then, in a case where it is detected that the hidden region is present and it is detected that the blood vessel is present in the hidden region, an orientation suggestion unit suggests to change the orientation of the monitor. Accordingly, in a case where blood vessel puncture is performed, an appropriate orientation of the monitor for observing the blood vessel in the ultrasound image is suggested to the user.

    Abstract: 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.
