1. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:
an ultrasound probe;
a monitor;
an image generation unit that generates an ultrasound image including a short-axis image of a blood vessel on the basis of a reception signal obtained by performing transmission and reception of ultrasound beams with respect to a subject using the ultrasound probe;
a display control unit that displays the ultrasound image on the monitor;
a blood vessel extraction unit that extracts the short-axis image of the blood vessel from the ultrasound image;
an emphasis display unit that displays in an emphasis manner the short-axis image of the blood vessel in the ultrasound image displayed on the monitor;
a movement amount detection unit that detects a movement amount of the ultrasound image between adjacent frames on the basis of the ultrasound image; and
an apparatus control unit that, in a case where the movement amount is equal to or greater than a first threshold value after the emphasis display of the short-axis image of the blood vessel by the emphasis display unit is started, stops the emphasis display of the short-axis image of the blood vessel by the emphasis display unit.
