1. An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
a display configured to display a mid-sagittal plane (MSP) image corresponding to the MSP of a head of an object; and
an image processor configured to determine at least one measurement plane based on the MSP, generate a measurement plane image corresponding to the at least one measurement plane, and indicate a position of the at least one measurement plane on the MSP,
wherein the display is further configured to display the at least one measurement plane image with the MSP image,
wherein the at least one measurement plane comprises at least one of a transthalamic plane (TTP), a transventricular plane (TVP), and a transcerebellar plane (TCP), and
wherein the image processor is further configured to determine the TTP based on the MSP, as a plane that is perpendicular to the MSP.
