1. An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus comprising:
an ultrasound probe;
a processor; and
a monitor,
wherein the processor
generates an ultrasound image on which a breast of a subject is captured by performing transmission and reception of an ultrasound beam by using the ultrasound probe for the subject,
generates a schema image on which a region of interest is plotted based on
(i) a synthesized two-dimensional image generated by using a series of radiation images obtained by tomosynthesis imaging and on which the breast of the subject is captured,
(ii) information on a tomosynthesis image corresponding to the region of interest on the synthesized two-dimensional image, the information on the tomosynthesis image accompanying the synthesized two-dimensional image, and
(iii) information on the region of interest; and
displays the ultrasound image, the synthesized two-dimensional image, and the schema image on the monitor,
wherein the information on the tomosynthesis image includes a slice number and an imaging angle of the tomosynthesis image, and
wherein the processor generates the schema image including a slice line representing the tomosynthesis image and drawn at a position corresponding to the slice number with an angle as same as the imaging angle, the region of interest being plotted on the slice line.
