Abstract: Provided are an ultrasound imaging apparatus and method for displaying an ultrasound image. The ultrasound imaging apparatus includes: a display; and a processor configured to set, from among a plurality of scan lines, a plurality of scan line groups respectively corresponding to a plurality of subframes constituting a first frame, control the display to display the first frame, set, from among the plurality of scan lines, a plurality of scan line groups respectively corresponding to a plurality of subframes constituting a second frame, and control the display to display the second frame subsequently to the first frame. The processor may set the plurality of scan line groups such that a position of a boundary line between adjacent ones of the plurality of subframes in the first frame does not overlap a position of a boundary line between adjacent ones of the plurality of subframes in the second frame.

Abstract: Disclosed are an ultrasound image providing apparatus and method. The ultrasound image providing apparatus includes an interface that displays a screen including a gain setting window which includes a plurality of slide bars for setting a plurality of time gain compensation (TGC) values of ultrasound image data, and receives, through the gain setting window, a user input for adjusting at least one selected from the sizes and number of slide bars, and a controller that performs control to update and display the gain setting window, based on the user input.

Abstract: An illumination normalizing apparatus and a method are disclosed. The illumination normalizing apparatus measures a discontinuity of each pixel of an input image, the discontinuity including a spatial gradient and a local inhomogeneity, produces a weight of each pixel from the discontinuity by using a transfer function, produces an estimated illumination by repeating a convolution operation on each weight, and subtracts the estimated illumination from the input image.
