Disclosed herein is a medical imaging apparatus including a volume data generation unit to generate volume data of an object containing a target site to be inspected, a position calculation unit to detect the target site from the volume data of the object and to calculate a center of the target site, a marker data generation unit to generate marker data, wherein the marker data are volume data of a volume marker located at a position corresponding to the center of the target site, and a synthesized data generation unit to generate synthesized data by synthesizing the volume data of the object and the marker data. According to the medical imaging apparatus and a control method therefor, depth or direction information regarding the target site inside the object may be acquired during volume navigation, and thus, a stereoscopic structure of the target site may be identified.

Medical imaging apparatus and control method for the same

A 3D ultrasound image generating apparatus and method includes a volume-data generator to generate 3-dimensional (3D) volume data based on at least one cross-sectional image with respect to a body tissue of a subject, and a controller that generates the final 3D image having the adjusted 3D effect by volume rendering the 3D volume data based on the input stereo-depth value when a stereo-depth value used to adjust the 3D effect of a final 3D image generated based on the 3D volume data is input.

Medical image generating apparatus and medical image generating method

There are disclosed embodiments for an ultrasound system for performing segmentation of vessels. The ultrasound system comprises: an ultrasound data acquisition unit configured to transmit an ultrasound signal to a target object including vessels, receive an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the target object and form ultrasound data corresponding to the target object; a volume data forming unit configured to form volume data based on the ultrasound data; and a processor configured to form a 3-dimensional ultrasound image based on the volume data, set a plurality of slices on the 3-dimensional ultrasound image and perform segmentation of the vessels based on a degree of registration between the respective vessels on the adjacent slices.
