Claim Text:
1. A diagnosis imaging apparatus comprising: an image processor for detecting a first point and a second point on a heart wall of a valve of interest in a 3D volume data of a heart of a subject, rotating the 3D volume data to make a virtual line connecting the first point and the second point be parallel with a datum plane, and acquiring a 3D standard view of the valve of interest based on the rotated 3D volume data; and a display for displaying the 3D standard view, wherein the image processor determines a bi-plane image of the valve of interest based on the rotated 3D volume data, changes a current mode to a 3D mode to acquire a 3D image corresponding to the bi-plane image, and rotates the 3D image in a specific direction by a specific angle, thereby acquiring the 3D standard view.
