Provided are an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and a method of operating the same, which are capable of providing a guide for improving quality of an ultrasound image according to a relative position between a transducer and an object. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a probe configured to transmit ultrasound signals to an object and receive ultrasound echo signals reflected from the object; a display configured to display a state of contact between the object and the probe; and a processor configured to determine, based on the ultrasound echo signals, whether the probe is brought into contact with the object and the state of contact between the object and the probe, and to control the display to display an indicator indicating a result of the determining.

Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and method of operating the same

Provided is a medical imaging apparatus. The medical imaging apparatus includes: a user interface configured to receive an input for setting a region of interest (ROI) in a first medical image and an input for setting first volume rendering properties for the ROI and second volume rendering properties for a remaining region of the first medical image other than the ROI; an image generator configured to generate a second medical image by performing volume rendering on the ROI and the remaining region other than the ROI based on the first and second volume rendering properties, respectively; and a display configured to display the second medical image.

Medical imaging apparatus and method of displaying medical image

Provided is a method and apparatus for displaying an image showing an object. The method of displaying an image showing an object includes: displaying a model corresponding to the object; receiving a user input for selecting, from the model, a region of interest (ROI) included in the object; and displaying an image showing the ROI based on the user input.

Method and apparatus for displaying image showing object

Disclosed is an ultrasound apparatus. The ultrasound apparatus includes an ultrasound transceiver that transmits an ultrasound signal to an object and receives an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the object, a controller that detects a change amount of a diameter of a blood vessel of the object, based on the ultrasound echo signal, and a display unit that displays a blood pressure graph showing a blood pressure of the object and an image representing an inflection point in the blood pressure graph, based on the detected change amount of the diameter. The controller calculates a stiffness of the blood vessel, based on a blood pressure corresponding to the inflection point.

Method of calculating feature of blood vessel and ultrasound apparatus for performing the same

Disclosed are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and an operating method thereof, which quickly and accurately set a volume of interest (VOI). The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a data acquiring unit that acquires three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound data about an object, a display unit that displays a plane image of at least one of a plurality of planes included in the object, based on the 3D ultrasound data, a user input unit that receives a user input which sets a first straight line included in the plane image, a VOI setting unit that sets, as a VOI, a volume between a first flat surface, which is parallel to the first straight line and is separated from the first straight line by a first distance, and a second flat surface which is parallel to the first straight line and is separated from the first straight line by a second distance; and an image generating unit that generates at least one selected from a 3D image and a two-dimensional (2D) plane image of the set VOI, based on the 3D ultrasound data. The display unit displays at least one selected from the 3D image and the 2D plane image of the VOI.

Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus, operating method thereof, and computer-readable recording medium

Provided is an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus including a data acquirer configured to obtain ultrasound data about an object having blood vessels; an image processor configured to extract a blood vessel area from an ultrasound image generated based on the ultrasound data, extract a plaque area included in the blood vessel area, and analyze a risk of plaque based on at least one of a surface shape of the plaque area and brightness information of the plaque area; and a display configured to display the risk of plaque.
