Ultrasound imaging apparatus and method of visualizing ultrasound merged volume

Abstract

Provided are an ultrasound imaging apparatus and a method of visualizing an ultrasound merged volume. The ultrasound imaging apparatus includes an ultrasound transceiving module, a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor comprising processing circuitry, wherein, when the instructions are individually or collectively executed by the at least one processor, the ultrasound imaging apparatus is configured to obtain a plurality of original volumes through the ultrasound transceiving module, generate a merged volume by merging the plurality of original volumes, display a merged volume cross-section image indicating a cross-sectional area of interest within the merged volume, receive a user's input to select one of the plurality of original volumes, and based on a position of the cross-sectional area of interest within the merged volume, display an original volume cross-section image of the selected original volume corresponding to the merged volume cross-section image.
