    摘要: A method for obtaining an elastic feature of an object includes inducing a first shear wave in the object by transmitting a first push ultrasound signal which is generated by a probe of an ultrasound apparatus and a first grating lobe signal which relates to the first push ultrasound signal toward the object, transmitting a tracking ultrasound signal to an area of the object where the first shear wave has propagated, receiving, from the object, a reflection signal which relates to the tracking ultrasound signal, measuring a first shear wave parameter which indicates a shear wave characteristic of the first shear wave based on the reflection signal, and obtaining an elastic feature of the object by using the first shear wave parameter.

    摘要: A method of providing a medical image by using a medical imaging apparatus includes: acquiring blood vessel information indicating information about a blood vessel, the blood vessel being included in a medical image; and displaying the medical image. The blood vessel information includes at least one of a first diameter of the blood vessel, a first angle of the blood vessel, and a presence of at least one of bifurcation and crossover, in a first region of interest (ROI) with respect to a first position in the medical image. The acquiring of the blood vessel information includes acquiring blood vessel information corresponding to a second ROI with respect to a second position, based on the blood vessel information corresponding to the first ROI.
