Abstract
Disclosed herein is a medical imaging apparatus including a volume data generation unit to generate volume data of an object containing a target site to be inspected, a position calculation unit to detect the target site from the volume data of the object and to calculate a center of the target site, a marker data generation unit to generate marker data, wherein the marker data are volume data of a volume marker located at a position corresponding to the center of the target site, and a synthesized data generation unit to generate synthesized data by synthesizing the volume data of the object and the marker data. According to the medical imaging apparatus and a control method therefor, depth or direction information regarding the target site inside the object may be acquired during volume navigation, and thus, a stereoscopic structure of the target site may be identified.
