Claim 8:
9. A method of detecting a size of biological tissue using an ultrasound image display device, the method comprising:
displaying an ultrasound image of biological tissue on a touch screen;
recognizing a touch point of a user who touches the touch screen on which the ultrasound image is displayed;
detecting at least one edge part adjacent to the recognized touch point from the ultrasound image;
displaying, on the touch screen, an edge curve corresponding to the detected edge part to be overlapped with the ultrasound image; and
detecting size information of the biological tissue according to a type of the displayed edge curve; and
outputting the detected size information,
wherein the detecting of the size information of the biological tissue includes determining whether the type of the edge curve is an open curve or a closed curve, and detecting, when the type of the edge curve is the open curve, as the size information, a distance between virtual touch points at which extended virtual normal lines perpendicular to two open edge curves formed on both sides of the touch point meet the open edge curves.
