Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprises an insonifier, a receiver, and a processor. The insonifier is configured to insonify an ultrasound to a specimen. The receiver is configured to receive an echo signal from the specimen resulting from the ultrasound. The processor is in communication with the receiver. Further, the processor is configured to process the echo signal so as to obtain a first series of images under a first condition and a second series of images under a second condition. The processor is also configured to measure a first physical value on the first series of images and a second physical value on the second series of images. The processor is further configured to adjust a time phase of the second series of images relative to a time phase of the first series of images based on the first physical value and the second physical value.
