Abstract

An ultrasound diagnostic system according to one embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of ultrasound output patches that can be attached to different body parts; a data receiving unit that receives each of data transmitted from the plurality of ultrasound output patches; a processing unit that processes the data to obtain an imaging result for the body part; and an output unit that outputs the imaging result for the body part, wherein the ultrasound output patch includes a multi-channel ultrasound transducer array configured to output imaging ultrasound toward the body part and receive the imaging ultrasound reflected therefrom; a signal processing module for processing signals transmitted and received by the multi-channel ultrasound transducer array; and a communication module for transmitting the signal processing result obtained by the signal processing module to the data receiving unit.
