IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, ULTRASONIC APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A medical image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a weight applier configured to, when a difference between a first imaginary component of a first frame image and a second imaginary component of a second frame image, the second frame image being adjacent to the first frame image, is less than or equal to a first threshold value, apply a first weight to the second imaginary component to increase the difference; and
an image generator configured to generate a movement-amplified image based on the first frame image and the second frame image to which the first weight is applied so that a movement of interest corresponding to the increased difference is amplified.

4. A medical ultrasonic apparatus, comprising:
-
an ultrasonic probe configured to collect ultrasonic echo signals reflected from an object; an image processing apparatus configured to generate an ultrasonic image based on the collected ultrasonic echo signals, increase a difference between adjacent frame images included in the ultrasonic image, and generate a movement-amplified image in which movement of interest is amplified; and a display configured to display the movement-amplified image. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
