Abstract: A medical system, a medical imaging apparatus, and a method of setting a 3-dimensional (3D) marker on a 3D image are provided. The medical imaging apparatus a display unit displaying a 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound image generated by using 3D data; a user input unit receiving first input information for selecting a predetermined point of the 3D ultrasound image; and a processor detecting 3D geometry information of a 3D marker that corresponds to the predetermined point in the 3D data based on the first input information, and setting the 3D marker on the 3D image based on the 3D geometry information that is detected.

Abstract: Provided are an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and a method of operating the same. A method of operating the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes displaying an ultrasonic image in a first region of a display unit, selecting a region of interest (ROI) in the ultrasonic image, displaying a scan conversion image and a certain magnification in a second region, and acquiring a measurement value of the ROI on a basis of the scan conversion image. The scan conversion image is generated by enlarging or reducing an image corresponding to the selected ROI at the certain magnification. A resolution of the scan conversion image is equal to or higher than a resolution of the ultrasonic image.
