Provided are a medical imaging apparatus and a method of generating a medical image that are capable of generating a Doppler image by using a Doppler effect as well as an ultrasound image. The method of generating a medical image includes: acquiring received signals; acquiring an ultrasound image and displaying the acquired ultrasound image; acquiring a Doppler signal corresponding to a sample volume that is set on the ultrasound image, based on the received signals; generating a Doppler image based on the Doppler signal and displaying the generated Doppler image; receiving a user input for moving a location of the sample volume; and suspending, if the user input is received, the displaying of the Doppler image and updating the ultrasound image.
