Abstract
Apparatuses and methods for measuring a velocity component of tissue and blood flow within a human body may generate sample data by transmitting ultrasound signals to and sampling echo signals reflected from the human body, generate frequency distribution data containing the velocity component of tissue and blood flow, extract the frequency distribution data corresponding to the velocity component of tissue flow from the frequency distribution data, and display the extracted frequency distribution data. The apparatuses and methods may also input the frequency distribution data containing the velocity component of tissue and blood flow, eliminate a direct-current component of the frequency distribution data, extract the velocity component of blood flow from the frequency distribution data, determine a maximum value of the extracted velocity component of blood flow, decide a gain level, and multiply the frequency distribution data by the decided gain level.
