Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus including an ultrasound probe, an image processor, a measurement processor, a graph processor, and a display. The ultrasound probe includes a plurality of piezoelectric transducers and is configured to insonify and receive an echo signal resulting from the insonification. The image processor is coupled to the ultrasound probe and is configured to prepare image data based on the echo signal. The measurement processor is coupled to the image processor and is configured to conduct a measurement on the image data with respect to a predetermined parameter. The graph processor is coupled to the measurement processor and is configured to prepare a trend graph based on the measurement when the insonification and the image preparation are conducted more than one time. The display is coupled to the graph processor and is configured to display the trend graph with related information in a time phase on the trend graph.
