Apparatus And Methods For Displaying An Elastic Image Using An Ultrasound System

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus for generating an elastic image that includes an interpolation unit configured to generate a first data set using ultrasound images obtained at a maximum pressure and at a minimum pressure; an image generating unit configured to generate a pyramid image using the first data set; a map generating unit configured to generate a motion map using the pyramid image; a displacement calculating unit configured to calculate a displacement based on the motion map; and a display unit configure to display an elastic image using the calculated displacement.
