Claim One:
1. A 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound system, comprising: an extractor configured to scan an image of an object and to extract a region of interest (ROI) image from the image of the object, the ROI image including a measurement region of the object; a processor configured to detect a first edge and a second edge of a first side image and a first edge and a second edge of a second side image, the first and second side images being generated from the ROI image, detect a first true edge based on the first edge of the first side image and the first edge of the second side image, detect a second true edge based on the second edge of the first side image and the second edge of the second side image, and display the detected first and second true edges on a screen; and a controller configured to measure the thickness of the measurement region based on a distance between the first edge and the second edge of one of the first side image and the second side image.
