1. An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
a storage configured to store data related to first position type information;
a probe configured to transmit an ultrasound signal to an object including a fetus, and receive an ultrasound echo signal reflected from the object;
one or more processors configured to acquire ultrasound image data with respect to the fetus based on the ultrasound echo signal and generate an ultrasound image based on the ultrasound image data; and
a display configured to display the ultrasound image,
wherein the first position type information and second position type information are information which are predetermined according to medical statistics,
wherein the first position time information indicates position information of a heart, which is one position selected from left isomerism (polysplenia) and right isomerism (asplenia),
wherein the second position type information indicates position information of an abdomen, which is one position selected from among situs solitus, situs inversus totalis, situs inversus thoracalis, and situs inversus abdominalis,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to detect one from among the first position type information and the second position type information that is predetermined and corresponds to the ultrasound image, obtain third position type information related to one of the heart and the abdomen from the one from among the first position type information and the second position type information, and control the display to display the third position type information related to the heart or the abdomen together with the ultrasound image, based on the one from among the first position type information and the second position type information, and
wherein the one or more processors autonomously select one from among the first position type information and the second position type information that are stored and control the display to display selected position type information with the third position type information.
