Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a medical diagnostic apparatus and a method of operating the same. The medical diagnosis apparatus performs measurement based on a preset diagnosis system environment in response to a measurement start instruction input from a user, and only if the apparatus receives an instruction for changing the diagnosis system environment, the apparatus performs measurement based on a changed diagnosis system environment in response to the instruction. In the apparatus and method, a workflow is arranged to perform measurement accurately, efficiently and safely, thereby reducing time for measurement or diagnosis and decreasing the occurrence of user error.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an ultrasound system capable of displaying a plurality of divided screens. The ultrasound system includes an ultrasound diagnosis unit transmitting an ultrasound signal to a patient body and receiving the ultrasound signal reflected from the patient body to generate a reception signal, a data generator generating ultrasound image data based on the reception signal, a memory storing the ultrasound image data, and an image processor dividing a screen of a display unit into a plurality of divided screens according to set-up of the display unit input from a user input unit and displaying an ultrasound image on the respective divided screens.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a customized interface in an ultrasound system is provided. The customized interface providing method includes: receiving a request for use of the ultrasound system from a user; displaying, in response to the request, a selection screen associated with selecting any one of software modes provided from the ultrasound system; receiving selection information from the user according to displaying of the selection screen; and executing a software mode corresponding to the selection information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrasound system capable of displaying a virtual keyboard image on the touch screen and a method of displaying the virtual keyboard image on a part of a display screen of the display unit. The ultrasound system comprises: a control panel configured to receive user instructions for displaying a virtual keyboard image; a display unit configured to display the virtual keyboard image and to receive a command by touch type; and a processor unit coupled to the control panel and the display unit, the processor unit being configured to display an ultrasound image on the display unit to display the virtual keyboard image on a part of a display screen of the display unit.

Abstract: Embodiments for performing a recovery function of parameters in an ultrasound system are disclosed. An input unit may allow a user to input instructions. The instructions include a setting instruction for setting values of a plurality of parameters and a recovery instruction for recovering the parameter values to previously set parameter values. An ultrasound diagnostic unit forms an ultrasound image of a target object based on the set parameter values. A storage unit may sequentially and accumulatively store the parameter values. A control unit, which is responsive to the recovery instruction, retrieves the parameter values from the storage unit and recovers the set parameter values to previous parameter values based on the retrieved parameter values. The ultrasound diagnostic unit forms an ultrasound image based on the recovered parameter values.

Abstract: Embodiments for setting an image depth in an ultrasound system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a storage unit stores a mapping table of image depth information and gestation information. A user input unit receives input information from a user. A control unit retrieves from the storage unit image depth information corresponding to the input information and sets an image depth based on the retrieved image depth information.
