An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes: a display unit that displays an acoustic wave image； an operation unit for a user to perform an input operation； a measurement item designation receiving unit that receives designation of a measurement item relevant to a measurement target； a detection measurement algorithm setting unit that sets a detection measurement algorithm based on the measurement item； a position designation receiving unit that receives designation of a position of a measurement target on the acoustic wave image； a measurement unit that detects the measurement target from the acoustic wave image based on the position of the measurement target and the detection measurement algorithm, measures the measurement target, calculates a measurement candidate, and displays the measurement candidate on the display unit； and a measurement candidate designation receiving unit that receives designation of the measurement candidate in a case where a plurality of measurement candidates are displayed.
