20140119610 | MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A measuring apparatus is provided. The measuring apparatus includes a first region of interest setting unit configured to set first regions of interest to a target for observation, a second region of interest setting unit configured to set a second region of interest to a part not including the first regions of interest, a first moving vector calculating unit configured to calculate moving vectors of first parts of the first regions of interest, a second moving vector calculating unit configured to calculate a moving vector of a second part of the second region, and a corrected moving vector calculating unit configured to perform a correction based on the moving vector of the second part on each of the moving vectors of the first parts to calculate a corrected moving vector. | 05-01-2014 |
20140121523 | MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A measuring apparatus is provided. The measuring apparatus includes a measurement value calculating unit configured to calculate a measurement value, based on each of a plurality of measurement reference points set to an ultrasound image that is generated based on echo signals of ultrasound obtained from a subject, an evaluation value calculating unit configured to calculate an evaluation value related to one of a rate of reflection of each of the echo signals and an azimuth of a biological tissue structure in the subject, the evaluation value calculated with respect to each of the measurement reference points, and a determination unit configured to determine a reliability for the measurement value, based on the evaluation value. | 05-01-2014 |
20140148695 | MEASURING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF - A measuring apparatus is provided. The measuring apparatus includes a measurement reference part setting unit configured to set-measurement reference parts to each of a plurality of sequential ultrasound images of a subject, a tracking unit configured to perform tracking of a plurality of regions in the ultrasound images, a first motion information calculating unit configured to calculate first motion information of the regions, based on the tracking performed by the tracking unit, and a second motion information calculating unit configured to calculate second motion information of the measurement reference parts, based on the first motion information, wherein the plurality of regions move with the measurement reference parts and include parts capable of capturing moving factors that are not able to be captured by tracking the measurement reference parts between a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image using the tracking unit. | 05-29-2014 |
