Method and ultrasound apparatus for displaying ultrasound image corresponding to region of interest

摘要

Provided is an ultrasound image display method. The ultrasound image display method includes displaying an ultrasound image of an object, selecting at least one region of interest (ROI) in the ultrasound image based on a user input, converting image pixel information corresponding to the at least one ROI into height values, and three-dimensionally displaying a partial ultrasound image corresponding to the at least one ROI by using the height values.

主权项

1. An ultrasound image display method comprising:
displaying an ultrasound image of an object; selecting at least one region of interest (ROI) in the ultrasound image based on a user input; converting image pixel information corresponding to the at least one ROI into height values, wherein the converting of the image pixel information into the height values comprises determining a sign of the height values based on movement direction information of a tissue or a bloodstream when the ultrasound image is a color Doppler image or a spectral Doppler image; and three-dimensionally displaying a partial ultrasound image corresponding to the at least one ROI by using the height values, wherein the three-dimensional displaying of the partial ultrasound image corresponding to the at least one ROI comprises displaying the three-dimensional (3D) partial ultrasound image overlappingly on the ultrasound image which is a two-dimensional (2D) form, and wherein the displaying of the 3D partial ultrasound image overlappingly on the ultrasound image which is the 2D form comprises applying a semitransparent effect or a transparent effect to other images in the ultrasound image which is the 2D form except a region in which the 3D partial ultrasound image is overlappingly displayed.
