Abstract
Disclosed herein are a medical imaging apparatus and a method of providing medical images which may more accurately quantify elasticity of tissues. The medical imaging apparatus includes a display unit displaying an elastic image in which different colors are mapped according to strain values of tissues within an object, and a controller, when a target area containing lesion tissues and a reference area containing normal tissues are set in the elastic image, calculating a representative target area value representing strain values of the target area and a representative reference area value representing strain values of the reference area, and displaying a color reference area, expressing distribution of the representative reference area value in the reference area in color, through the display unit.
