Abstract

An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus (100) includes a display unit (25) which displays a user interface (UI) image for setting a plurality of time gain compensation (TGC) values according to depths; a UI unit (50) which receives a first input for setting a TGC value corresponding to a first depth from among the plurality of TGC values to be a first TGC value, via the UI image; and a control unit (60) which sets the TGC value corresponding to the first depth to be the first TGC value, based on the first input, and automatically sets a TGC value corresponding to at least one second depth, except for the TGC value corresponding to the first depth, from among the plurality of TGC values, based on the first TGC value.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Applications No. 10-2013-0127304 and No. 10-2014-0057945 filed at the Korean Intellectual Property Office on October 24, 2013 and May 14, 2014, respectively. The entire disclosure of the application is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus capable of effectively setting time gain compensation (TGC). Background technique [0003] An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus radiates an ultrasonic signal generated by a transducer of a probe to a subject, and receives information on an ultrasonic echo signal reflected from the subject, thereby obtaining an internal image of the subject. In particular, ultrasonic diagnostic apparatuses are used for medical purposes such as observation of the inside of a subject, detection of foreign substances inside the subject, and diagnosis of damage to the subject. Compared with...
