Abstract
An ultrasound image is generated by repeatedly transmitting an ultrasound signal to scan lines in an object and receiving echo signals respectively corresponding to the scan lines. Each of at least three echo signal groups is formed to include the echo signals received as a result of a single execution of transmitting the ultrasound signal and receiving corresponding echo signals. A B-flow image is generated by partially overlapping the echo signal groups and represents a tissue component and a blood flow component.
