ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, a method for controlling the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, and a computer program product, and more particularly, to a technology for generating and displaying an image representing a microcalcified tissue in an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus. An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment includes a probe, an ultrasound transceiver that transmits an ultrasound signal to an object through the probe and receives an echo signal reflected from the object, and an echo reflected from the object after transmitting a first ultrasound pulse to the object Controlling the ultrasound transceiver to receive a signal to acquire first data, transmitting a second ultrasound pulse different from the first ultrasound pulse to a first position of the object, and receiving an echo signal reflected from the first position of the object The operation of acquiring second data by controlling the ultrasound transceiver to repeat a plurality of times at a predetermined time interval, transmitting a second ultrasound pulse to a second position of the object, and receiving the echo signal reflected from the second position of the object in advance A control unit configured to control the ultrasound transceiver to repeat a plurality of times at a predetermined time interval to obtain third data, and to analyze the obtained second data and the obtained third data to detect microcalcified tissues in the first and second positions; and a display unit for displaying an ultrasound image generated based on the acquired first data and an image representing the microcalcified tissue detected at the first and second positions.
