An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus has: an image acquiring unit that transmits/receives an ultrasound beam from an ultrasound probe to acquire an ultrasound image； a part probability calculating unit that calculates, for the ultrasound image acquired in accordance with a first measurement method, a probability that a part included in the ultrasound image is a specific part from at least one of an orientation angle of the ultrasound probe or an analysis result of the ultrasound image； and a measurement method changing unit that changes, when the probability is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the first measurement method to a second measurement method for identifying the part for which the probability has been calculated, in which an ultrasound image is further acquired by using the second measurement method.
