Provided is an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus configured to automatically search a cross-section including a desired feature of an object. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a display; a memory storing one or more instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to: acquire three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volume data regarding a region of interest of an object; identify a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) cross-sections, each including at least one feature to be observed, based on the 3D ultrasound volume data; determine priority levels of the plurality of 2D cross-sections based on the at least one feature included in each of the plurality of 2D cross-sections; and control the display to display a plurality of 2D ultrasound images respectively corresponding to at least some of the plurality of 2D cross-sections based on the priority levels.

Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and method of controlling the same

An ultrasound imaging apparatus includes a processor configured to set an internal orifice of an uterus (IOS) point indicating the IOS of a cervix and an external orifice of an uterus (EOS) point indicating the EOS of the cervix, from a cervix line indicating a cervical canal, set a region of interest (ROI) of the IOS and a ROI of the EOS based on the IOS point and the EOS point, and calculate degrees of elasticity in the ROI of the IOS and the ROI of the EOS, and a display configured to display information indicating the degrees of elasticity in the ROI of the IOS and the ROI of the EOS.

Ultrasound imaging apparatus and ultrasound image display method

An image registration method includes acquiring first image data for a target object that includes first coordinate information; acquiring second image data for the target object that includes second coordinate information, by using a probe; and registering the first image data with the second image data, using the first coordinate information and the second coordinate information. According to the image registration method, image registration between a plurality of pieces of volume data adjusted so that their coordinate axes correspond to each other is performed, whereby a high-quality registered image may be quickly and simply obtained.

Method and apparatus for image registration

Provided is a method of displaying a medical image, including: generating a first image showing a region of interest (ROI) by using echo signals corresponding to ultrasound signals transmitted toward the ROI; selecting second images showing the ROI from among prestored images; and displaying the first image and the second images on a screen.

Method and apparatus for displaying ultrasound images

A medical imaging device includes: a display configured to display first and second medical images having different modalities from each other with respect to an object: an image processor configured to match the first and second medical images, extract a second object corresponding to a first object selected in the first medical image from the second medical image, extract first feature information of the first object by analyzing the first medical image, and extract second feature information of the second object by analyzing the second medical image: and a controller configured to generate final diagnostic information based on the first and second feature information, and control the display to display the final diagnostic information.

Medical imaging device and method of operating the same

Provided are an ultrasound system and method for providing change information of a target object by performing image registration on a reference image acquired before radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and an ultrasound image acquired during the RFA and comparing the reference image and the ultrasound image that have undergone the image registration with each other.

Ultrasound system and method for providing change information of target object

An image registering method includes extracting a first cross-section image from first volume data about a target object, which is acquired via a first image acquisition modality; displaying the first cross-section image; acquiring second volume data about the target object, the second volume data including a second cross-section image corresponding to the first cross-section image and position information of a probe, via a second image acquisition modality using the probe; and registering the first volume data with the second volume data, based on the first cross-section image, the second cross-section image, and the position information of the probe.

A diagnosis apparatus and a method of operating the diagnosis apparatus. The diagnosis apparatus includes a probe for transmitting an ultrasonic wave signal to a subject and receiving a response signal; a data generating unit for generating image data of a plurality of frames, based on the response signal; a reliability determining unit for determining whether the image data is reliable by estimating a motion of the probe, based on the image data; a diagnosis unit for generating diagnosis data about the subject by using elastography, based on the image data; and a display device for displaying an image, based on the image data.
