METHOD AND ULTRASOUND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING DIFFUSION BOUNDARY OF MEDICINE
First Claim
1. A method of marking a diffusion boundary of medicine, the method performed by an ultrasound apparatus and comprising:
- obtaining first B mode image data and first Doppler data about a target object to which the medicine is injected;
detecting a first area of the target object from which the first Doppler data is obtained;
determining a first diffusion boundary of the medicine, based on the first area; and
marking the first diffusion boundary of the medicine on a B mode image that is generated by using the first B mode image data.

Abstract
Provided is a method of marking a diffusion boundary of medicine, the method performed by an ultrasound apparatus and including operations of obtaining first B mode image data and first Doppler data about a target object to which the medicine is injected; detecting a first area of the target object from which the first Doppler data is obtained; determining a first diffusion boundary of the medicine, based on the first area; and marking the first diffusion boundary of the medicine on a B mode image that is generated by using the first B mode image data.

15. A method of marking a diffusion boundary of medicine, the method performed by an ultrasound apparatus and comprising:
-
obtaining a first B mode image and a second B mode image of a target object to which the medicine is injected; comparing a first speckle pattern comprised in the first B mode image with a second speckle pattern comprised in the second B mode image; estimating a first movement path of at least one speckle comprised in the first B mode image, based on a result of the comparing; determining a first diffusion boundary of the medicine, based on the first movement path of the at least one speckle; and marking the first diffusion boundary of the medicine on the second B mode image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
-
an ultrasound image data obtainer configured to obtain first B mode image data and first Doppler data about a target object to which the medicine is injected; a controller configured to detect a first area of the target object from which the first Doppler data is obtained, and determine a first diffusion boundary of the medicine, based on the first area; and a display configured to mark the first diffusion boundary of the medicine on a B mode image that is generated by using the first B mode image data.

29. An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
-
an ultrasound image data obtainer configured to obtain a first B mode image and a second B mode image of a target object to which the medicine is injected; a controller configured to compare a first speckle pattern comprised in the first B mode image with a second speckle pattern comprised in the second B mode image, estimate a first movement path of at least one speckle comprised in the first B mode image, based on a result of the comparing, and determine a first diffusion boundary of the medicine, based on the first movement path of the at least one speckle; and a display configured to mark the first diffusion boundary of the medicine on the second B mode image.
