Claim 0:
1. An ultrasound apparatus, comprising:
an ultrasound probe configured to transmit an ultrasound wave to a target tissue and receive an ultrasound echo from the target tissue, wherein the target tissue is a tissue of a liver;
a transmission and receiving controller configured to control the ultrasound probe to transmit the ultrasound wave to the target tissue and receive the ultrasound echo to obtain an ultrasound echo signal;
an ultrasound echo signal processor configured to perform different processes on the obtained ultrasound echo signal according to usage of the obtained ultrasound echo signal, wherein, a gain compensation for enhancing image quality is performed on a first ultrasound echo signal for obtaining an ultrasound image of the target tissue, and a gain compensation for preserving original information is performed on a second ultrasound echo signal for calculating a quantitative parameter of the liver;
a data processor configured to generate the ultrasound image of the target tissue according to the processed first ultrasound echo signal, calculate the quantitative parameter of the liver according to the processed second ultrasound echo signal, and output the ultrasound image and the quantitative parameter, wherein the quantitative parameter comprises a quantitative parameter representing an ultrasound attenuation degree in the liver, a quantitative parameter representing a difference between ultrasound echoes from the liver and another tissue, and a quantitative parameter representing an ultrasound velocity in the liver; and
a display device configured to display the ultrasound image and the quantitative parameter.
