Outline of Final Research Achievements

With the development of multi-slice CT technology, obtaining accurate 3D images of lung field becomes possible. Radiologists understood 3D-lung structure using CT images and diagnosis of lung diseases. Supporting diagnosis by the computer is demanded, due to the large number of used CT images(300-600images). In this study, we aspire to develop software that analyses abnormal lung structure. We constructed CT image-database and development a classification of pulmonary artery and vein method. This method which simplifies bronchi and pulmonary blood vessel showed high accuracy result.
