Claim 9:
10. A control method of an ultrasound imaging apparatus, the method comprising:
irradiating an ultrasound signal to an object and receiving an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the object;
obtaining a color Doppler signal from which a clutter signal has been completely or partially removed by filtering the ultrasound echo signal;
obtaining a plurality of consecutive Doppler image frames based on the color Doppler signal;
generating a Doppler image based on the plurality of consecutive Doppler image frames;
outputting the Doppler image;
calculating a flash artifact score of each of the plurality of consecutive Doppler image frames based on the ultrasound echo signal;
generating a timeline corresponding to the plurality of consecutive Doppler image frames;
displaying the flash artifact score of each of the plurality of consecutive Doppler image frames on the timeline;
determining whether the ultrasound imaging apparatus is scanning the object; and
displaying an indicator representing a time point at which the ultrasound imaging apparatus starts to scan the object on the timeline.
