Abstract
A method of generating an elastography image includes transmitting unfocused push signals comprising a plurality of ultrasound signals to an object in different directions; transmitting a detection ultrasound signal to the object in which a shear wave is generated by the unfocused push signals; receiving a response signal in response to the detection ultrasound signal from the object; and generating the elastography image of the object based on the response signal.
