ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND OPERATING METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a volume rendering apparatus, and an operation method thereof. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the operation method comprises the following steps: determining a start block of volume rendering based on a maximum value of blocks which exist in a path of a beam; obtaining a value of the beam based on first sampling values obtained by sampling the start block; setting a processing order of remaining blocks based on the distance from the start block to the remaining blocks; determining whether to process the block by comparing a maximum value of a next block and the value of the beam according to the set order; and comparing second sampling values obtained by sampling the next block and the value of the beam when the maximum value of the next block is greater than the value of the beam, and updating the value of the beam according to a comparison result.
