1. A method of controlling an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus that performs a compression test with respect to at least two points of a popliteal vein and a common femoral vein of a subject, the method comprising:
transmitting an ultrasound beam toward a back of a knee of the subject from an ultrasound probe to acquire an ultrasound image;
detecting the popliteal vein included in the acquired ultrasound image;
guiding a user to operate the ultrasound probe to fix the position of the ultrasound probe in a case where the compression test of the popliteal vein is performed and only one popliteal vein is detected; and
guiding the user to move the ultrasound probe to an upper side of a back of a knee of the subject in a case where the compression test of the popliteal vein is performed and a plurality of popliteal veins are detected.
