  • a) forming and storing a plurality of sequential 2-dimensional ultrasound images based on ultrasound echo signals reflected from a target object, each of said sequential 2-dimensional ultrasound images being assigned a serial number;

    b) selecting N numbers of 2-dimensional ultrasound images having consecutive serial numbers;

    c) superposing the N number of 2-dimensional ultrasound images to form a 3-dimensional ultrasound image;

    d) forming a flow direction marker indicating a first 2-dimensional ultrasound image from the N numbers of 2-dimensional ultrasound images;

    e) displaying the 3-dimensional ultrasound image together with the flow direction marker on a screen;

    f) removing the first 2-dimensional ultrasound image from the N numbers of 2-dimensional ultrasound images;

    g) selecting a (N+1)th 2-dimensional ultrasound image and superposing the selected 2-dimensional ultrasound image to the superposed 2-dimensional ultrasound images; and
