An ultrasound imaging apparatus includes: an image processor configured to generate an ultrasound image based on an ultrasound echo signal; a display; and a main controller configured to detect a liver area and a kidney area in the ultrasound image, extract a border line between the liver area and the kidney area, automatically establish a region of interest of the liver and a region of interest of the kidney based on the border line, obtain a diagnostic parameter for the region of interest of the liver and a diagnostic parameter for the region of interest of the kidney, and control the display to display information about the diagnostic parameter for the region of interest of the liver and the diagnostic parameter for the region of interest of the kidney.

Ultrasound imaging apparatus and control method thereof

A tomography apparatus includes a data acquirer configured to acquire partial images of an object including a first image and a second image having imaged a surface of a portion of the object corresponding to a first time and a second time, respectively, by performing a tomography scan on the object that is moving, and acquire first information indicating motion of the object by using the first image and the second image; and an image reconstructor configured to reconstruct a target image by using the first information.

Tomography apparatus and method for reconstructing tomography image thereof

A tomography apparatus includes a data acquirer acquiring a first image and a second image that are partial images, by using data acquired in a first angular section corresponding to a first time point and a second angular section corresponding to a second time and facing the first angular section, by performing a tomography scan on an object that is moving, and acquiring first information indicating a motion amount of the object by using the first image and the second image, and an image reconstructor reconstructing a target image indicating the object at a target time, based on the first information.

An apparatus usable in an image encoding and/or decoding system includes a segmentation unit to convert a first image of a first resolution into a second image of a second resolution, to segment the second image of the second resolution with one or more blocks of a binary mask layer having a foreground and a background, and to convert the segmented second image into a third image of a third resolution as a segmented image.

Apparatus and method of segmenting an image in an image coding and/or decoding system

A scanner including: a transparent plate; a light emitting unit that emits light to an object on the transparent plate; a sensor to form an image of the object; a focusing lens unit that is arranged on a light path between the transparent plate and the sensor, to focus light from the object onto the sensor; and a controller to determine whether a foreign substance is disposed in the light path, using the image, calculates a position of the foreign substance, and corrects the image on the basis of the calculated position of the foreign substance.
