Further, the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 is stored in the storage unit 9. Details will be described later. The memory | storage part 9 is an example of embodiment of the memory | storage part in this invention.

  The storage unit 9 stores an image that prompts the user of the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 1 to exercise, and a program for causing the image display control unit 51 to display the image is one of the above-described programs. Is remembered as

  Next, the operation of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 of this example will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S1, the image display control unit 51 uses the ultrasonic probe 2 on the user of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1, that is, the subject in the three-dimensional space, for example, at a preset timing according to the above-described program. The display unit 6 displays an image that prompts the user who is transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves to exercise. The timing for displaying an image prompting exercise is stored in the storage unit 9. For example, as the timing, a time for displaying an image for exercising in the storage unit 9 may be stored. In addition, as the timing, a timing regarding a condition related to a user's fatigue level by an examination using an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus may be stored in the storage unit 9. Conditions relating to the degree of fatigue of the user due to the inspection include the length of time during which the inspection is performed, the moving distance of the ultrasonic probe 2, the number of subjects examined by the user, and the like. Therefore, an image that prompts exercise may be displayed at a timing when the length of time during which the examination is performed has passed the length of time stored in the storage unit 9. In addition, an image for prompting exercise may be displayed at the timing when the moving distance of the ultrasonic probe 2 becomes the moving distance stored in the storage unit 9. The moving distance of the ultrasonic probe 2 is specified based on the position information of the ultrasonic probe 2 calculated by the position calculation unit 52. In addition, an image prompting exercise may be displayed when the number of subjects examined by the user reaches the number stored in the storage unit 9.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the image I prompting exercise displayed on the display unit 6 includes a character Ic indicating the content of the exercise, an illustration Ii, and a clock Iw. The clock Iw indicates the length of time during which exercise is performed. FIG. 4 shows an image that encourages exercise to swing the wrist up and down.

  The exercise here is an exercise performed while holding the ultrasonic probe 2 by hand, and is an exercise in which the ultrasonic probe 2 held by hand moves. Exercise also includes stretching.

  Next, in step S2, the user executes the exercise indicated by the image I. The user performs exercise while holding the ultrasonic probe 2 by hand. Here, the user performs an exercise of shaking the wrist up and down while holding the ultrasonic probe 2 by hand. When the user executes the exercise, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates the quality of the exercise. The evaluation unit 53 evaluates the quality of the exercise by performing an evaluation based on a predetermined criterion with respect to the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 specified by the position calculation unit 52.

  The evaluation based on the predetermined standard includes an evaluation of whether or not the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies the predetermined standard, and an evaluation of an achievement level of the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 with respect to the predetermined standard. Also, the quality of exercise is the degree of effect that exercise has on preventing or reducing the burden and hindrance to the user's motor equipment due to the examination.

  For example, the predetermined standard is that a predetermined movement is continuously performed for a predetermined time. Here, the determined movement is a movement of shaking the wrist up and down. The evaluation unit 53 evaluates whether the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies or does not satisfy the predetermined criterion as described above. When the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies a predetermined criterion, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates that the exercise quality is good. On the other hand, when the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 does not satisfy the predetermined standard, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates that the exercise quality is not good.

  In addition, as described above, when the predetermined movement is performed for a predetermined time as a predetermined standard, the evaluation unit 53 determines the achievement level for the predetermined standard in the predetermined standard. By determining a ratio R of the length of time during which a predetermined movement is performed with respect to a predetermined time, a degree of achievement with respect to a predetermined criterion is evaluated. The greater the ratio R, the higher the degree of achievement with respect to a given criterion and the better the quality of exercise. Thus, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates the degree of exercise quality by evaluating the degree of achievement with respect to a predetermined standard.

  In step S <b> 2, the image Ir indicating the evaluation result by the evaluation unit 53 is displayed on the display unit 6 by the image display control unit 51. For example, when it is evaluated that the quality of exercise is good, the image display control unit 51 displays the characters “OK” on the display unit 6 as an image Ir indicating the evaluation result, for example, as shown in FIG. . When it is evaluated that the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 does not satisfy the predetermined standard, the image display control unit 51 may display characters indicating that exercise is insufficient, or display nothing. May be.

  When the achievement level with respect to the predetermined standard is evaluated, the image display control unit 51 causes the display unit 6 to display an image corresponding to the achievement level as the image Ir indicating the evaluation result. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the image display control unit 51 displays a star image according to the achievement level as the image Ir indicating the evaluation result. This star image is an image having a number of stars corresponding to the achievement level. The higher the achievement level (the higher the ratio R), the more stars. In other words, the more stars, the better the quality of the exercise.

  Thus, by displaying the image Ir indicating the evaluation result relating to the quality of exercise on the display unit 6, the user can know whether or not sufficient exercise has been performed or the degree of achievement of exercise.

  Next, in step S3, the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 in step S2 is stored in the storage unit 9. The evaluation results stored in the storage unit 9 include, for example, that an exercise that satisfies a predetermined criterion has been performed, a degree of achievement with respect to the predetermined criterion, and the like. The said evaluation result is memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 9 with the information which identifies the user who performed the exercise.

  The evaluation result stored in the storage unit 9 may be read from the storage unit 9 and displayed on the display unit 6 for each user. Thereby, the exercise history can be known.

(Second embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. However, description of the same matters as in the first embodiment is omitted.

  A system 100 illustrated in FIG. 7 includes an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 connected to a network 101. In addition, a server 102 and a computer terminal 103 are connected to the network 101. The server 102 and the computer terminal 103 are known servers and computers and will not be described in detail.

  The ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 is the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus described in the first embodiment. A plurality of ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses 1 are connected to the network 101. The evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 stored in the storage unit 9 of each ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 is stored in the server 102 via the network 101. The server 102 may store the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 for each user, for example.

  The evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 stored in the server 102 is input to the computer terminal 103 via the network 101. For example, when the computer terminal 103 receives an input requesting the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 from the server 102, the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 stored in the server 102 is input to the computer terminal 103.

  The evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 input from the server 102 is displayed on the computer terminal 103. The evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 may be displayed on the computer terminal 103 for each user.

  Since the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 is stored in the server 102 and displayed on the computer terminal 103 in this manner, the history of exercise by the user of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 is managed by the administrator in the server 102 and the computer terminal 103. can do.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the said embodiment, of course, this invention can be variously implemented in the range which does not change the main point. For example, the image display control unit 51 is configured not to display an image for exercising when the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 is performing an ultrasonic examination when it is time to display an image for exercising. Also good.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the case where an image for exercising is displayed at a preset timing. For example, the image display control unit 51 may cause the display unit 6 to display an image for prompting exercise based on an input from the operation unit 7 by the user.

  Further, the exercise content and the movement defined by the predetermined standard are not limited to the movement of shaking the wrist up and down as mentioned in the above embodiment, and may be movement of turning the shoulder, for example.

  Further, the evaluation unit 53 may evaluate the quality of exercise based on the other factors as well as the evaluation based on the predetermined criterion for the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2. The other elements are, for example, data based on an electrocardiogram waveform acquired from the user or an echo signal acquired by transmitting / receiving ultrasonic waves to the user by the ultrasonic probe 2. The data based on the echo signal is, for example, Doppler data or elasticity data indicating the elasticity of the living tissue.

  When the other element is an electrocardiogram waveform, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus 1 includes an electrocardiogram waveform acquisition unit 12 as shown in FIG. In the electrocardiogram waveform acquisition unit 12, the electrocardiogram waveform acquired from the user is input to the evaluation unit 53 of the display processing unit 5. Here, exercise in a state where the heart rate has increased too much is not preferable. Therefore, the evaluation unit 53 specifies the heart rate, and evaluates that the exercise quality is good when the specified heart rate does not exceed a predetermined threshold and the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies a predetermined standard. On the other hand, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates that the exercise quality is not good when the heart rate exceeds a predetermined threshold or when the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 does not satisfy the predetermined standard. In this case, the image display control unit 51 may cause the display unit 6 to display a message instructing to exercise so that the heart rate does not increase.

  When the other element is Doppler data, the echo data processing unit 4 of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 performs Doppler processing on the echo data output from the transmission / reception beamformer 3 to create Doppler data. . The evaluation unit 53 evaluates the quality of exercise based on the blood flow measurement result in the Doppler data. Here, if the blood flow speed is high to some extent, it can be said that there was an exercise effect. Therefore, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates that the exercise quality is good when the blood flow velocity in the Doppler data is equal to or higher than a predetermined value and the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies a predetermined criterion. On the other hand, the evaluation unit 53 evaluates that the exercise quality is not good when the blood flow velocity in the Doppler data is less than the predetermined value or when the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 does not satisfy the predetermined reference.

  Further, when the other element is elasticity data, the echo data processing unit 4 of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 uses a known technique to determine the distortion of biological tissue based on the echo data output from the transmission / reception beamformer 3. A measurement value relating to the elasticity of the living tissue such as the propagation velocity is calculated, and elasticity data for the measurement value is created. The evaluation unit 53 evaluates the quality of the exercise based on the measurement value relating to the elasticity of the living tissue. Here, if the living tissue is soft, the muscles are loosened, and it can be said that there is an exercise effect. Therefore, the evaluation unit 53 is a value indicating that the measured value related to elasticity is soft according to a predetermined criterion (threshold), and the motion of the ultrasonic probe 2 satisfies the predetermined criterion, the quality of exercise is Evaluate as good. On the other hand, when the evaluation unit 53 has a value indicating that the living tissue is hard according to a predetermined criterion (threshold), or when the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2 does not satisfy the predetermined criterion, the quality of exercise is not good. And evaluate.

  Further, in order to detect the movement of the ultrasonic probe 2, an acceleration sensor 13 may be provided in the ultrasonic probe 2 as shown in FIG. 9 instead of the magnetic sensor 10. In this case, the acceleration sensor 13 is an example of an embodiment of a sensor in the present invention.

  The evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 may be output as sound from the speaker 14 of the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. The control unit 8 causes the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 53 to be output from the speaker 14 as sound. The control part 8 is an example of embodiment of the alerting | reporting part in this invention. Moreover, the function in which the control part 8 outputs an evaluation result with a sound is an example of embodiment of the alerting | reporting function in this invention.
