Abstract
The present invention is directed to an ultrasound system and a method of forming an ultrasound image. The ultrasound system includes a signal processing unit, a processor, an input unit and a blood flow angle computation unit. The signal processing unit may form ultrasound image signals based on ultrasound echo signals reflected from a target object. The processor may form a B-mode image based on the ultrasound image signals. The input unit may allow a user to set a sample volume on the B-mode image. The blood flow angle computation unit may compute a blood flow angle in the sample volume. The signal processing unit may further compute a Doppler angle based on the blood flow angle and form Doppler signals based on the Doppler angle. Also, the processor may further form a Doppler spectrum image and Doppler sound based on the Doppler signals.
