  • Patent number: 10441249
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: an ultrasound probe; a display; an image processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the image processor, perform operations. The operations includes acquiring ultrasound data about an object; generating an ultrasound image, based on the acquired ultrasound data; generating a first marker for a first object of interest (OOI) which is not included in the generated ultrasound image; displaying the generated ultrasound image and a map image representing a viewing point corresponding to the ultrasound image, a viewing direction, a region that a virtual ray reaches, and a position of the first OOI; and marking the first marker to correspond to the position of the first OOI on the ultrasound image and the map image.
