Abstract
A method for determining whether an ultrasound probe is on a scan state or on a non-scan state includes the following steps. An object is scanned to generate an image by the ultrasound probe, and the image is divided into a strong echo area and a weak echo area. The ultrasound probe is determined to be on the scan state as a signal intensity in the weak echo area of the image is greater than a threshold. Otherwise, the ultrasound probe is determined to be on the non-scan state as the signal intensity in the weak echo area of the image is less than the threshold, and the ultrasound probe enters a freeze mode so as to store a frozen image at a time before entering the freeze mode.
