1. An ultrasound system, comprising:

  • a transmission/reception (Tx/Rx) unit configured to transmit an ultrasound beam to a target object and receive ultrasound echoes reflected from the target object to thereby output receive signals, wherein the receive signals include first receive signals obtained before injecting a fluid into the target object and second receive signals obtained after injecting the fluid into the target object; and

    a processing unit configured to form a first ultrasound image based on the first receive signals and a second ultrasound image based on the second receive signal, the processing unit being further configured to compare the first ultrasound image and the second ultrasound image for detecting extravasation at the target object.
