Abstract
Provided is an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including a probe configured to induce displacement in tissue of an object by irradiating a first focused beam of a first frequency to the object; and a processor configured to obtain a first ultrasound image of the object in which displacement has been induced; to determine whether the induced displacement is appropriate based on the obtained first ultrasound image; when the induced displacement is not appropriate, to control the probe to irradiate a second focused beam of a second frequency different from the first frequency to the object, so as to induce displacement in the tissue of the object; and to process a second ultrasound image of the object in which displacement has been induced by the second focused beam.
