Abstract
The present disclosure discloses an ultrasound imaging device and a method of generating an ultrasound image. The ultrasound image generation method may include steps of transmitting an ultrasound signal to an object, receiving an ultrasound echo signal from the object, generating ultrasound image data on the basis of the received ultrasound echo signal, identifying a fetus's skull and an anatomical structure of a mother's body from the ultrasound image data, identifying a progression direction of the fetus's skull on the basis of a correspondence relationship between the fetus's skull and the anatomical structure of the mother's body, and displaying information on the progression direction of the fetus's skull.
