  • Patent number: 9508154
    Abstract: A medical imaging apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The method includes acquiring three-dimensional (3D) volume data about an object, generating a 3D image based on the 3D volume data, extracting a muscle tissue figure corresponding to a muscle tissue shape of the object by grouping voxels included in the 3D image, analyzing a motion of the object based on the extracted muscle tissue figure, and displaying the extracted muscle tissue figure and a result of the analysis.

  • Publication number: 20160302761
    Abstract: An ultrasound system includes a controller controlling generation of an ultrasound image showing a blood vessel based on an ultrasound echo signal obtained from an object including the blood vessel, and a display displaying the ultrasound image, in which the controller determines a first line and a second line spaced apart from each other with an inner space of the blood vessel interposed therebetween and indicating blood vessel walls in the ultrasound image and determines a color based on information about a change in an interval between the first line and the second line, and the display displays a partial area of the ultrasound image with the determined color.
