1. An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
an image processor configured to obtain an ultrasound image including a first ultrasound image and a second ultrasound image of an object:
a display configured to display a body marker having a shape corresponding to an imaged region of the object and a probe marker indicating a position of a probe used to obtain the ultrasound image on the body marker; and
a controller configured to control the image processor and the display,
wherein the controller is further configured to:
control the display to display a first probe marker indicating the position of the probe used to obtain the first ultrasound image in a first type on the body marker,
determine a distance between the position of the first probe marker and the position of the probe used to obtain the second ultrasound image in the body marker,
determine the shape of a second probe marker indicating the position of the probe used to obtain the second ultrasound image as the shape of a second type, based on the distance between the position of the first probe marker and the position of the probe used to obtain the second ultrasound image being less than or equal to a threshold distance, and
control the display to display the second probe marker in the determined shape on the body marker, and
wherein the shape of the second type is different from the shape of the first type.
