Ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and method of controlling the same

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

• acquiring three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volume data regarding a region of interest of an object;
• identifying a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) cross-sections, each including at least one feature to be observed, based on the 3D ultrasound volume data;
• determining priority levels of the plurality of 2D cross-sections based on the at least one feature included in each of the plurality of 2D cross-sections;
• and
• displaying a plurality of 2D ultrasound images respectively corresponding to at least some of the plurality of 2D cross-sections based on the priority levels.

An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• a memory storing one or more instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to:
• acquire ultrasound image data regarding a region of interest of an object;
• identify a first cross-section including at least one feature to be observed based on the ultrasound image data;
• determine a priority level of the first cross-section based on the at least one feature included in the first cross-section and at least one feature in each of at least one previously identified cross-section;
• and
• control the display to display, based on the priority level, a plurality of 2D ultrasound images respectively corresponding to at least some of the first cross-section and the at least one previously identified cross-section.
