<p>The present invention relates to an apparatus for enhancing the quality of a sectional plane image in a 3-dimensional ultrasound image. The apparatus for enhancing a sectional plane image in a 3-dimensional ultrasound image, includes: a display region calculation unit for selecting a reference sectional plane image in 3D ultrasound data of a target object received from a probe and calculating a display region to display the selected reference sectional plane image; a geometric look-up table storage unit for storing indices matched with 3-dimensional Cartesian coordinates of a screen displaying the target object and conical coordinates corresponding to the indices; a scan conversion unit for scan-converting conical coordinates of a plurality of sectional plane images with offsets between the sectional plane images adjusted to a predetermined value into Cartesian coordinates by referencing the geometric look-up table storage unit; a rendering unit for rendering the scan-converted sectional plane images including the reference sectional plane image; and a sectional plane image compound unit for compounding a predetermined number of sectional plane images in which the reference sectional plane image is positioned at a center thereof.</p> |
