Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus for emitting ultrasound waves to an examination object and obtaining an ultrasound image is provided. The apparatus includes a touch display configured to display a screen that includes the ultrasound image, and a controller configured to receive a touch input associated with the ultrasound image, and set a focus or depth of the ultrasound image to be displayed based on a touched position.
Claims20
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus for emitting ultrasound waves to an examination object and obtaining an ultrasound image, the apparatus comprising:
- a touch display;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the touch display to display the ultrasound image, and
- in response to receiving a touch input to the ultrasound image displayed on the touch display, set a focus or a depth of the ultrasound image based on a touched position of the touch input,
- wherein the ultrasound image comprises a plurality of depth areas that are obtained by focusing focal points on a plurality of depths of the ultrasound image, and
- wherein the controller is further configured to:
- control display of a plurality of manipulating points corresponding to the plurality of depth areas, and
- based on a second touch input for selecting a manipulating point from among the plurality of manipulating points, change a total gain compensation (TGC) of a depth area, from among the plurality of depth areas, corresponding to the selected manipulating point.
A method of controlling an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus for emitting ultrasound waves to an examination object and obtaining an ultrasound image, the method comprising:
- displaying a screen that includes the ultrasound image;
- receiving a touch input associated with the ultrasound image;
- and
- in response to receiving the touch input, setting a focus or a depth of the ultrasound image based on a touched position of the touch input,
- wherein the ultrasound image comprises a plurality of depth areas that are obtained by focusing focal points on a plurality of depths of the ultrasound image, and
- wherein the method further comprises:
- displaying a plurality of manipulating points corresponding to the plurality of depth areas, and
- based on a second touch input for selecting a manipulating point from among the plurality of manipulating points, changing a total gain compensation (TGC) of a depth area, from among the plurality of depth areas, corresponding to the selected manipulating point.
