Claim 4:
5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores program executed by at least one processor to cause the processor to perform functions of:
displaying a mark which surrounds a lesion on an ultrasonic image, based on lesion information which is produced when the lesion included in the ultrasonic image is detected;
restricting display of the mark when a mark display restriction condition is satisfied by a continued detection of the lesion;
deleting the mark from the ultrasonic image when the mark display restriction condition is satisfied even if the lesion continues to be detected; and
judging that the mark display restriction condition is satisfied, based on the lesion information,
wherein the lesion information includes position information which shows a position of the lesion, and size information which shows a size of the lesion,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to judge that the mark display restriction condition is satisfied, based on at least one of the position information and the size information of the lesion, and
wherein the mark display restriction condition includes a first condition, a second condition, and a third condition, the first condition being a condition of determining that detection of the lesion is continued over n frames, where n is an integer greater than or equal to m, the second condition is a condition of determining that the amount of movement of a center coordinate of the lesion between the reference frame and the current frame is within a second range, the third condition being a condition of determining that the amount of change of the size of the lesion between the reference frame and the current frame is within a third range, and when all of the first, second and third conditions are simultaneously satisfied, the mark is not displayed on the screen.
