Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for processing a medical image, including: an input module including a plurality of input units; and a controller that performs a first combination function defined by a combination of a first input unit and a second input unit among the plurality of input units when user inputs through the first and second input units are detected, wherein the first combination function is related to a function defined in at least one of the first and second input units.

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.

Abstract: Provided are an ultrasound system and a method of providing a reference image corresponding to an ultrasound image of a target. The ultrasound system includes: a storage unit configured to store a plurality of images corresponding to respective targets; and a processor configured to generate an ultrasound image which depicts the target included in a subject by using ultrasound data acquired from the subject, extract at least one reference image corresponding to the ultrasound image from among the plurality of images, and control a display of the reference image extracted.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical imaging apparatus including a volume data generation unit to generate volume data of an object containing a target site to be inspected, a position calculation unit to detect the target site from the volume data of the object and to calculate a center of the target site, a marker data generation unit to generate marker data, wherein the marker data are volume data of a volume marker located at a position corresponding to the center of the target site, and a synthesized data generation unit to generate synthesized data by synthesizing the volume data of the object and the marker data. According to the medical imaging apparatus and a control method therefor, depth or direction information regarding the target site inside the object may be acquired during volume navigation, and thus, a stereoscopic structure of the target site may be identified.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound system and method of providing direction information of an object of a fetus. The ultrasound system includes an ultrasound data acquirer that transmits an ultrasound signal to an object including a fetus, and acquires ultrasound data by receiving an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the object, a processor that generates an ultrasound image with the ultrasound data, a display that displays the ultrasound image on a screen, and a user input unit that receives a user command for setting position information of the fetus corresponding to a posture of the fetus based on the ultrasound image. The processor sets direction information, indicating the posture of the fetus, on the screen in response to the user command.

Abstract: A medical system, a medical imaging apparatus, and a method of setting a 3-dimensional (3D) marker on a 3D image are provided.
