1. A user interface (UI) providing method for use in a medical diagnostic apparatus, the UI providing method comprising:
- detecting a number of hands and a number of fingers of a user;
determining a touch input UI, from among a plurality of touch input UIs, that corresponds to the detected number of hands and number of fingers and is to be displayed on a screen; and
adjusting and displaying the touch input UI on a basis of a distance from the screen to the hand,wherein the determining of the touch input UI comprises;
when the number of the detected hands is two and the number of the detected fingers is eight or more, determining a virtual keyboard as the touch input UI;
when the number of the detected hands is one and the number of the detected fingers is two, determining a time gain compensation (TGC) adjustment UI as the touch input UI;
when the number of the detected hands is one and the number of the detected fingers is one, determining a menu selection UI as the touch input UI; and
when the number of the detected hands is one and no finger is detected, determining an image control UI as the touch input UI.
