Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus providing a map of an interest index. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a calculating unit for calculating a mechanical index (MI) corresponding to a depth value in a direction in which ultrasound travels from an ultrasound output part of a transmission transducer; a visualization unit for generating an MI map in which a relationship between the calculated MI and the depth value is visualized in the form of a graph; and a display unit for displaying the MI map.

Abstract: A method of correcting ultrasound images, the method including the operations of, by an ultrasound output unit, outputting an ultrasound signal to a target object; obtaining an mechanical index (MI) map indicating a correlation between depth values according to a travel direction of the ultrasound signal, and MI values by the ultrasound signal; and adjusting a gain value of an ultrasound echo signal corresponding to the ultrasound signal by using a reverse MI map that is obtained by reversing the MI map, so as to allow the MI values, which are displayed on the MI map, to be a virtually constant MI value with respect to the depth values.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging device according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention may determine a skewness with respect to an in-phase/quadrature-phase (I/Q) signal in a frequency domain, and may provide a decision logic of a clutter filtering using the skewness. Accordingly, by filtering a clutter signal of the I/Q signal according to the skewness of the I/Q signal, an ultrasonic image may be formed using a signal in which a clutter component is filtered and/or submatrices in which a Doppler component is dominant, and the formed ultrasonic image may be provided to a user.
