Abstract:
1. An ultrasound system, comprising: a sensing unit configured to sense a 3-dimensional position and/or orientation of an ultrasound probe to form position information and/or orientation information; a display; and a processor configured to control the display to display one or more image indicators including an ultrasound beam direction marker depicting a direction of an ultrasound beam transmission transmitted from the ultrasound probe, and a target organ marker depicting a target object in a body, the ultrasound beam direction marker and the target organ marker being overlaid on each other, wherein the processor is further configured to 3-dimensionally rotate the ultrasound beam direction marker based on the position information and/or the orientation information of the ultrasound probe and to control the display to display a body axis marker in a 3-dimensional coordinate system indicating an anatomical orientation of the displayed target organ with respect to the body, and the body axis marker is displayed differently depending on the anatomical orientation of the displayed target organ in the 3-dimensional coordinate system.
