Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and method of operating the same

A method of operating an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by an image processor, ultrasound data about an object representing a part of a human or animal;
• generating, by the image processor, a first ultrasound image in a first viewing direction with a first viewing point and a map image corresponding to the first ultrasound image, based on the ultrasound data;
• detecting, by the image processor, objects of interest (OOIs) representing at least one of an organ, a polyp, or a lump in the object, based on the acquired ultrasound data;
• determining, by the image processor, a first object of interest (OOI) which is not included in the first ultrasound image among the OOIs based on the first ultrasound image;
• controlling, by the image processor, a display to display the first map image representing a relationship between a first region that a virtual ray reaches based on the first viewing direction with the first viewing point and a position of the first OOI;
• and
• controlling, by the image processor, the display to display a first marker corresponding to the position of the first OOI outside or inside of the first ultrasound image, based on the relationship between the first region that the virtual ray reaches and the position of the first OOI;
• adjusting by the image processor, at least one of the first viewing point or the first viewing direction to be a second viewing point or a second viewing direction, respectively, based on the relationship, so that the position of the first OOI is included in an area that the virtual ray reaches;
• and
• controlling, by the image processor, the display to display a second ultrasound image based on the at least one of the second viewing point or the second viewing direction, and to display a second marker corresponding to the position of the first OOI on the second ultrasound image,
• wherein, when the position of the first OOI is not included in the area that the virtual ray reaches, the controlling the display to display the first marker comprises
• controlling the display to display the first marker in a first border region among outer border regions of the first ultrasound image, based on the relationship.
