METHOD OF DISPLAYING ELASTOGRAPHY IMAGE AND ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

A method of displaying an elastography image and an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus performing the method are provided. The method includes transmitting (100) an ultrasound signal to an object, receiving (100) a response signal to the transmitted ultrasound signal, determining (100) ultrasound image data based on the received response signal, determining (110) displacement image data based on the determined ultrasound image data, generating (120) elastography images based on the determined displacement image data, dividing (130) the elastography images into sections based on a criterion, and determining (140)a representative elastography image of each of the sections based on one or more elastography images in each of the sections and quality information of the one or more elastography images, the quality information being based on a strain of a first elastography image among the one or more elastography images. The method further includes displaying (150) the representative elastography image.
