Claim Text:
1. A method of generating a temperature image during ultrasonic treatment, the method comprising: setting a first plane to indicate a heating region of a body where ultrasonic waves for treatment are irradiated, and setting a second plane to indicate a protective region around the heating region, wherein an intersection of the first and second planes forms a line along an irradiation portion of an ultrasound diagnosis device; irradiating the first plane with ultrasonic waves for diagnosis at a first frame rate, from the irradiation portion of the ultrasound diagnosis device, and irradiating the second plane with the ultrasonic waves for diagnosis at a second frame rate, from the irradiation portion of the ultrasound diagnosis device, wherein the second frame rate is lower than the first frame rate; and generating the temperature image by using frame images acquired as a result of irradiating the first and second planes with ultrasonic waves for diagnosis.
