Apparatus and method of processing medical image
An apparatus for processing medical images includes a storage unit storing fingerprints that respectively correspond to a plurality of functions, a user input unit detecting a fingerprint of a user, and a controller performing a function corresponding to the detected fingerprint, from among the functions.
1. An apparatus for processing medical images, the apparatus comprising:
a storage configured to store fingerprints that respectively correspond to a plurality of functions;
a user input unit configured to detect a fingerprint of a user;
a display configured to display guide information including information of the detected fingerprint and information indicating a function corresponding to the detected fingerprint; and
a controller configured to perform the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint, from among the functions.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display comprises a touch screen, and
the touch screen displays, at a point where the fingerprint of the user is detected, guide information including information of the detected fingerprint and information indicating a function corresponding to the detected fingerprint.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the functions comprise at least one of a freeze function, a time gain compensation (TGC) adjustment function, and a Doppler related function.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user input unit comprises at least one of a key button, a knob button, a trackball, and a dial touchpad.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when a first fingerprint of the user is detected, the controller performs a first function corresponding to the first fingerprint from among the functions, and when a second fingerprint of the user is detected, the controller performs a second function corresponding to the second fingerprint from among the functions.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein when the first and second fingerprints are detected, the controller performs a third function from among the functions.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein when the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint is a function of adjusting a value, the controller adjusts the value according to a rotation direction and a rotation angle of the detected fingerprint.
8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein when the detected fingerprint is a first fingerprint, the controller increases or decreases the value by a first value when the first fingerprint rotates by a predetermined angle, and when the detected fingerprint is a second fingerprint, the controller increases or decreases the value by a second value when the second fingerprint rotates by a predetermined angle.
9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user input unit detects a user input for rotating the detected fingerprint, and
the controller performs a function that is different from the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint according to a rotation direction and a rotation angle of the detected fingerprint.
10. A method of operating an apparatus for processing medical images, the method comprising:
storing fingerprints that respectively correspond to a plurality of functions;
detecting a fingerprint of a user;
displaying guide information including information of the detected fingerprint and information indicating a function corresponding to the detected fingerprint; and
performing the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint, from among the functions.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the displaying of the guide information comprises displaying, at a point where the fingerprint of the user is detected, guide information including information of the detected fingerprint and information indicating a function corresponding to the detected fingerprint.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the functions comprise at least one of a freeze function, a time gain compensation (TGC) adjustment function, and a Doppler related function.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the performing of the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint comprises, when a first fingerprint of the user is detected, performing a first function corresponding to the first fingerprint from among the functions, and when a second fingerprint of the user is detected, performing a second function corresponding to the second fingerprint from among the functions.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the performing of the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint further comprises, when the first and second fingerprints are detected, performing a third function from among the functions.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the performing of the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint comprises, when the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint is a function of adjusting a value, adjusting the value according to a rotation direction and a rotation angle of the detected fingerprint.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the adjusting of the value comprises, when the detected fingerprint is a first fingerprint, increasing or decreasing the value by a first value when the first fingerprint rotates by a predetermined angle, and when the detected fingerprint is a second fingerprint, increasing or decreasing the value by a second value when the second fingerprint rotates by a predetermined angle.
17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
detecting a user input for rotating the detected fingerprint, and
performing a function that is different from the function corresponding to the detected fingerprint according to a rotation direction and a rotation angle of the detected fingerprint.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which, when executed by a computer, performs the method of claim 10 .
