Ultrasound imaging system for displaying an original ultrasound image in a real size

Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultrasound imaging system, comprising: an ultrasound image signal providing unit for providing ultrasound image signals corresponding to an ultrasound image having preset horizontal and vertical lengths; an image processing unit for forming a first ultrasound image based on the ultrasound image signals and adjusting a size of the first ultrasound image to thereby form a second ultrasound image; and a display unit including a display region having a plurality of dots arrayed in horizontal and vertical directions, the display region being configured to display the first and second ultrasound images, wherein the image processing unit calculates a conversion value for enlarging or reducing the first ultrasound image based on a horizontal or vertical length of the first ultrasound image and a distance between the neighboring dots, and wherein the image processing unit applies the conversion value to the first ultrasound image to thereby form the second ultrasound image.
