ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound diagnosing apparatus comprises an ultrasound transducer for emitting ultrasound beams and receiving reflected beams to form a scanning plane, and for displacing the scanning plane three-dimensionally for N steps; image data processor for obtaining predetermined brightness value data of respective echoes of the received ultrasound beams which define the respective scanning plane and for outputting the brightness value data of the ultrasound beams of the respective scanning plane as one pixel line data; a memory for storing ultrasound image data of M number of ultrasound images into M number of frames, the ultrasound image data of each of the M number of ultrasound images being comprised of N number of the pixel line data produced by the image data processor; writing control circuit for sequentially storing M number of the pixel line data each having a different time phase to the corresponding positions of the respective frames of the memory, the M number of the pixel line data being obtained by carrying out the scanning at each position of the N steps for M times; and display controlling section for sequentially reading out the ultrasound image data stored in the respective frames of the memory one by one and displaying a three-dimensional ultrasound image based on the ultrasound image data.
