1. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to be applied to an ultrasound inspection of an internal living body part of a subject, wherein the internal living body part moves with a movement of the subject, the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising a hardware processor that:
generates an ultrasound image of the internal living body part based on a reception signal acquired from an ultrasound probe which transmits and receives an ultrasound;
detects the movement of the subject by performing an image analysis of time-series camera images acquired from a camera which images the movement of the subject; and
generates a display image including the ultrasound image, and changes a display content or display mode of the display image in conjunction with a current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis, wherein the display content or display mode to be changed is an indication on the display image of a movement of the internal living body part with the current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis.
 
16. A control method for an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to be applied to an ultrasound inspection of an internal living body part of a subject, wherein the internal living body part moves with a movement of the subject, the control method comprising:
generating an ultrasound image of the internal living body part based on a reception signal acquired from an ultrasound probe which transmits and receives an ultrasound;
detecting a movement of the subject by performing an image analysis of time-series camera images acquired from a camera which images the movement of the subject; and
generating a display image including the ultrasound image, and changing a display content or display mode of the display image in conjunction with a current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis, wherein the display content or display mode to be changed is an indication on the display image of a movement of the internal living body part with the current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis.
 
17. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a control program for an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to be applied to an ultrasound inspection of an internal living body part of a subject, wherein the internal living body part that moves with a movement of the subject, the control program causing the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to perform:
generating an ultrasound image of the internal living body part based on a reception signal acquired from an ultrasound probe which transmits and receives an ultrasound;
detecting a movement of the subject by performing an image analysis of time-series camera images acquired from a camera which images the movement of the subject; and
generating a display image including the ultrasound image, and changing a display content or display mode of the display image in conjunction with a current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis, wherein the display content or display mode to be changed is an indication on the display image of a movement of the internal living body part with the current movement of the subject detected by the image analysis.
