Claim 0:
1. An ultrasound diagnostic system including an ultrasound diagnostic device that transmits an ultrasound beam toward a subject from an array transducer, and receives an ultrasound echo from the subject to create a plurality of ultrasound images, and a workstation connected to the ultrasound diagnostic device, the ultrasound diagnostic system comprising:
a storage unit configured to store a plurality of ultrasound images in past diagnosis of a plurality of subjects as past images,
wherein the ultrasound diagnostic device has
a diagnostic device side processor configured to determine a current image that is the ultrasound image to be stored to the storage unit among moving image data made of the plurality of ultrasound images created in a current diagnosis,

wherein the workstation has
an input unit for allowing an operator to input various kinds of information,
a workstation-side display unit, and
a workstation-side processor configured to control display in the workstation-side display unit, and

wherein, in a case where a routine test in which a plurality of parts of the subject are sequentially subjected to ultrasound diagnosis in accordance with a determined procedure is performed and in a case where information on the subject is input from the input unit,
the workstation-side processor is configured to
make the workstation-side display unit perform a first display in which a plurality of past images in a past routine test of the subject stored in the storage unit are displayed as a thumbnail list and then perform a second display in which one past image and the current image which is determined in the ultrasound diagnostic device with respect to a part corresponding to the one past image are displayed side by side on a past image region and a current image region adjacent to each other, in an arrangement order of the plurality of past images displayed as the thumbnail list in the first display,
make the workstation-side display unit display a next past image in the arrangement order of the first display on the past image region in the second display after the second display of the current image corresponding to the one past image is performed, and
make the current image region blank until a current image corresponding to the next past image is determined by the ultrasound diagnostic device and displayed on the current image region from a time point when the next past image is displayed on the past image region,
each time a display in the past image region is updated according to the arrangement order, the blank and a current image corresponding to a past image being displayed in the past image region, are displayed alternately in the current image region.
