Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a speckle energy analyzer configured to analyze speckle energy of an ultrasound image signal, the ultrasound image signal being received from an ultrasound probe, and an image decomposer configured to decompose the ultrasound image signal into one or more ultrasound image signals of different frequency bands, based on the analyzed speckle energy of the ultrasound image signal.
