Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and control method thereof

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• a probe to emit an ultrasonic signal to an object and receive the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object;
• a first mode image generator to generate at least one two-dimensional ultrasonic image of the object based on the reflected ultrasonic signal received by the probe;
• a second mode image generator to generate a three-dimensional ultrasonic image of the object;
• a display unit to display the two-dimensional ultrasonic image and the three-dimensional ultrasonic image on one screen thereof;
• a display controller to, when one of the two-dimensional ultrasonic image and the three-dimensional ultrasonic image is moved, move the other of the two-dimensional image or the three-dimensional image corresponding to the image movement;
• and
• an input unit to receive a command for the image movement.

An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising:

• a probe to emit an ultrasonic signal to an object and receive the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object;
• a B-mode image generator to generate a B-mode image based on the reflected ultrasonic signal received by the probe;
• an input unit to receive a setting of an M line in the B-mode image;
• an M-mode image generator to generate an M-mode image corresponding to the set M line;
• a display unit to display the B-mode image and the M-mode image on one screen thereof;
• and
• a display controller to, when a portion of the set M line is not displayed on the display unit during the M line setting, move the B-mode image to fully display the set M line on the display unit.

A method of controlling an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus, the method comprising:

• emitting an ultrasonic signal to an object and receiving the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object;
• generating an image of a first mode based on the received reflected ultrasonic signal and displaying the generated first mode image;
• generating an image of a second mode associated with the first mode image and displaying the generated second mode image together with the first mode image;
• and
• moving the displayed first mode image when a part of a portion of the first mode image associated with the second mode image is not displayed, to fully display the portion associated with the second mode image.
