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: 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.
