Abstract:
1. An ultrasound system, comprising: a probe configured for transmitting an ultrasound signal to an object and receiving an echo signal reflected from the object; a touch panel configured for receiving a touch input, the touch input comprising a plurality of touch input points including a first touch input point and a second touch input point; and a processor configured for determining a first compensation value and a second compensation value at different depths corresponding to the first touch input point and the second touch input point, performing compensation on the echo signal based on the determined first compensation value and second compensation value and generating an ultrasound image of the object based on the compensated echo signal, wherein the first touch input point and the second touch input point for setting the first compensation value and the second compensation value are received via a single touch input forming a single curve corresponding to different depths, and wherein the first touch input point and the second touch input point correspond to two different depths on the generated ultrasound image.
