Abstract: An ultrasound imaging apparatus includes a probe configured to receive ultrasound data from a lung of a fetus; a processor configured to obtain Doppler data based on the ultrasound data, to measure a value about at least one parameter used to estimate lung maturity of the fetus, and to estimate the fetal lung maturity by using the measured value about at least one parameter; and a display configured to display a result of estimated lung maturity.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. The ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes a holder implemented to hold a probe; an object sensor for detecting physical changes around the holder; an electromagnetic wave sensor for detecting electromagnetic waves around the holder; and a controller for determining a port name for a probe held in the holder, based on sensing values from the object sensor and electromagnetic wave sensor.

Abstract: It is an aspect of the disclosure to provide an ultrasound imaging apparatus and a control method thereof which can be replaced more quickly and conveniently in replacing an ultrasound probe when a patient is diagnosed as a whole using the ultrasound imaging apparatus.
