| Research Abstract |
This research aims to construct a Computer Assisted Diaganosing System using 3D Medical Images provided by modarity devices like CT, PET or MRI, and to establish the image processing operations. In the system, users can make arbital combinations of varaious operators like "Ooverlapping" , "Difference" or "Change over Time" which are useful for Medical Doctors (Radiologists). Furthermore the system provides special functions for cancer diagnosis like "Extraction of 3D outline of Organs" or "Judgiment of abnormality" on each organ. As a result, whole process of cancer detection from whole body is realized. In the research we proposed an Algorithm Description Language MDPL and the Interpreter on a computer. Using this system we store a number of real samples of diagnosis. The effectiveness have been shown because almost all abnormalities from whole body can be detected using CAD. We consider to apply this method widely to real medical application field in the next step.
