ULTRASOUND IMAGE DISPLAY METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Disclosed is an ultrasound image display method. The ultrasound image display method displays an ultrasound image, detects a shadow pattern for determining an internal state of an object displayed in the ultrasound image, determines the number of the detected shadow patterns, and displays the determined number of shadow patterns. The detecting of shadow patterns includes detecting a shadow pattern of each image of an ultrasound image sequence acquired over a time period. The displaying of the determined number of shadow patterns may include displaying the number of detected shadow patterns in the sequence acquired over the time period. While the displaying of a sequence of ultrasound image frames progresses in time and before a detected shadow pattern disappears, performing image sticking of the detected shadow pattern at a position at which the detected shadow pattern was displayed before disappearing, the image sticking being performed for a predetermined time period.
