Ultrasonic observation apparatus, ultrasonic diagnostic system, operation method of ultrasonic observation apparatus, and operation program of ultrasonic observation apparatus
An ultrasonic observation device is disclosed that has an input device having a touch pad connected, and that displays on a display an ultrasound image generated based on an ultrasonic signal received from an ultrasound transducer that transmits an ultrasonic wave to an object to be observed and receives a reflected ultrasonic wave reflected by the object, the touch pad detecting a contact object that is brought in contact by an operator. The ultrasonic observation device includes a display controller that displays a rotation indicator that indicates a rotation direction when the ultrasound image is rotated about a predetermined rotation reference as a center, such that the rotation indicator is superimposed on the ultrasound image displayed on the display, according to a contact position of the contact object on the touch pad.
