Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a probe configured to irradiate an ultrasonic signal to an object and receive the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object; a pressure device configured to contract or expand a blood vessel of the object and is divided into a plurality of regions; and a controller configured to operate in one region of the plurality of regions to generate an image related to the blood vessel of the object and sequentially operate in other regions of the plurality of regions.
Claims20
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a probe configured to irradiate an ultrasonic signal to an object and receive the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object;
- a pressure device configured to contract or expand a blood vessel of the object and is divided into a plurality of regions;
- and
- a controller configured to operate in one region of the plurality of regions to generate an image related to the blood vessel of the object and sequentially operate in other regions of the plurality of regions.
A control method of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus which comprises a pressure device divided into a plurality of regions, the method comprising:
- controlling the pressure device so that one region of the plurality of regions contracts or expands a blood vessel of an object;
- irradiating an ultrasonic signal to the object and receiving the ultrasonic signal reflected from the object;
- generating an image related to the blood vessel of the object based on the received ultrasonic signal;
- and
- re-controlling the pressure device so that other regions of the plurality of regions are sequentially operated in.
