Abstract:
1. An image processing method comprising: determining similarities between a first two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound image and 2D ultrasound images of a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound image; generating a number of similar 2D ultrasound images with respect to the first 2D ultrasound image based on the similarities; generating 3D volume data based on the number of the similar 2D ultrasound images; removing noise from the 3D volume data; generating 2D compound image by compounding the noise-removed 3D volume data; and generating another 3D ultrasound image based on the 2D compound image with respect to the each of the 2D ultrasound images of the 3D ultrasound image.
