  • Patent number: 10702249
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless probe including: an ultrasound reception/transmission module that receives a first power and scans a target object by transmitting ultrasound signals to the target object and receiving ultrasound echo signals reflected from the target object; a signal processing module that receives a second power, generates pulses for generating the ultrasound signals and generates ultrasound data by using the ultrasound echo signals; a wireless communication module that receives a third power and receives/transmits predetermined data from/to a medical device; a controller that controls supply of at least one of the first power, the second power, and the third power based on an operation state of the wireless probe; and a power unit that supplies or blocks the at least one of the first power, the second power, and the third power according to control of the controller. Each component included in the wireless probe may reduce power consumed by the wireless probe.

  • Patent number: 9547896
    Abstract: A method of and apparatus for changing lesion classification data, the method including determining whether at least one mass is included in an image of an object, determining whether the at least one mass corresponds to a lesion by using first data including at least one first information, selecting a false negative (FN) mass which has been determined as not corresponding to the lesion among the at least one mass, based on a first input, and changing the first data to second data by using second information of the selected FN mass.
