Abstract
A 3D ultrasound image generating apparatus and method includes a volume-data generator to generate 3-dimensional (3D) volume data based on at least one cross-sectional image with respect to a body tissue of a subject, and a controller that generates the final 3D image having the adjusted 3D effect by volume rendering the 3D volume data based on the input stereo-depth value when a stereo-depth value used to adjust the 3D effect of a final 3D image generated based on the 3D volume data is input.
