an ultrasound image edge detector configured to detect edge components on the ultrasound image;
an ultrasound examination item selection button inputter configured to receive an input from a user via a touch screen to select an organ of interest to be examined by the apparatus;
a semantic segmentation artificial intelligence network configured to label organs present on the ultrasound image;
an interest organ label separator configured to extract and separate the organ of interest selected by the user from other organs shown on the ultrasound image;
an interest organ searcher configured to:
detect an edge component of the organ of interest; and
