ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and an ultrasound diagnostic system for displaying a 3-dimensional color flow image performing a transparency treatment for a predetermined region. The method of displaying a color flow image, comprises: a) forming a plurality of 2-dimensional color flow images based on ultrasound echo signals; b) sequentially superposing the plurality of 2-dimensional color flow images to form a 3-dimensional color flow image including a plurality of image regions; c) receiving selection information for selecting a desirable image region from the 3-dimensional color flow image; and d) performing a transparency treatment upon the selected region in the 3-dimensional color flow to have a predetermined transparency.
