Abstract: A pedestal has two sides that are opposite one another and to which various charging boxes can be mounted and electrically connected. For instance, the pedestal can have the same charging boxes mounted to the two sides and electrically connected with a power system upon which the pedestal is positioned. Instead, two different charging boxes can be mounted to the two sides. Importantly, either or both charging boxes can be easily removed by appropriate personnel and alternatively replaced with other charging boxes if, for instance, the market for needing specific electrical charging has changed or if the population of electrical vehicles needing electrical charging has grown in a new direction, by way of example.

Abstract: An optimal transfer hospital determining method and server are provided. Provided is the optimal transfer hospital determining method comprising: determining candidate hospitals; acquiring status information about an emergency patient; determining the severity of the patient on the basis of the acquired status information; calculating emergency event possibility information on the basis of the acquired status information; acquiring transport resources availability information about the determined candidate hospitals; calculating the suitability of each candidate hospital on the basis of the determined severity of the patient, the acquired emergency event possibility information, and the transport resource availability information; and determining the optimal transfer hospital on the basis of the calculated suitability of each candidate hospital.

Abstract: Provided are an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and a method of operating the same, which are capable of providing a guide for improving quality of an ultrasound image according to a relative position between a transducer and an object. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes: a probe configured to transmit ultrasound signals to an object and receive ultrasound echo signals reflected from the object; a display configured to display a state of contact between the object and the probe; and a processor configured to determine, based on the ultrasound echo signals, whether the probe is brought into contact with the object and the state of contact between the object and the probe, and to control the display to display an indicator indicating a result of the determining.

Abstract: Provided is a medical imaging apparatus. The medical imaging apparatus includes: a user interface configured to receive an input for setting a region of interest (ROI) in a first medical image and an input for setting first volume rendering properties for the ROI and second volume rendering properties for a remaining region of the first medical image other than the ROI; an image generator configured to generate a second medical image by performing volume rendering on the ROI and the remaining region other than the ROI based on the first and second volume rendering properties, respectively; and a display configured to display the second medical image.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for displaying an image showing an object. The method of displaying an image showing an object includes: displaying a model corresponding to the object; receiving a user input for selecting, from the model, a region of interest (ROI) included in the object; and displaying an image showing the ROI based on the user input.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasound apparatus. The ultrasound apparatus includes an ultrasound transceiver that transmits an ultrasound signal to an object and receives an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the object, a controller that detects a change amount of a diameter of a blood vessel of the object, based on the ultrasound echo signal, and a display unit that displays a blood pressure graph showing a blood pressure of the object and an image representing an inflection point in the blood pressure graph, based on the detected change amount of the diameter. The controller calculates a stiffness of the blood vessel, based on a blood pressure corresponding to the inflection point.

Abstract: Provided are an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and an ultrasound diagnosis method that provide to a user an ultrasound image which is easy to recognize. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a probe, an ultrasound transmitter configured to transmit ultrasound waves to an object by using the probe, an ultrasound receiver configured to generate ultrasound data based on reflection waves corresponding to the transmitted ultrasound waves, a bio-signal obtaining unit configured to obtain bio-signals that are periodically generated, a data processor configured to obtain first loop image data and second loop image data based on the ultrasound data, and an image generator configured to generate combined data by combining the first loop image data and the second loop image based on the bio-signals.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and an operating method thereof, which quickly and accurately set a volume of interest (VOI).

Abstract: Provided is an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus including a data acquirer configured to obtain ultrasound data about an object having blood vessels; an image processor configured to extract a blood vessel area from an ultrasound image generated based on the ultrasound data, extract a plaque area included in the blood vessel area, and analyze a risk of plaque based on at least one of a surface shape of the plaque area and brightness information of the plaque area; and a display configured to display the risk of plaque.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for displaying an image showing an object.
