Abstract
An information providing method which is implementable by using an ultrasound apparatus includes obtaining ultrasound image data which relates to an object; displaying, on a first area of a screen, a gain setup window for setting a gain of the obtained ultrasound image data; receiving a gain which is set by a user on the gain setup window; and displaying, on a second area of the screen, an ultrasound image of the object to which the set gain is applied.
Claims9
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions to cause the ultrasound apparatus to:
- in response to receiving an input to enter a mode which initializes time gain compensation (TGC) values, enter the mode which initializes TGC values and display, on the touch screen, a graphical user interface (GUI) for setting TGC values, the GUI displaying initialized positions along depths for indicating initialized TGC values along the depths,
- obtain an ultrasound image by applying the initialized TGC values to at least one ultrasound echo signal reflected from an object and detected by a probe,
- display the obtained ultrasound image,
- receive, from a user, a single drag input within the GUI displaying initialized positions along depths,
- in response to the received single drag input, change a plurality of the displayed initialized positions to thereby change the initialized TGC values indicated by the plurality of displayed positions to adjusted TGC values,
- display a line with the ultrasound image, the line indicative of a position of the single drag input within the GUI in correspondence with a depth of the ultrasound image, and
- obtain an ultrasound image by applying the adjusted TGC values to the at least one ultrasound echo signal.
