Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The modern CT scanners have been widely used in Japan. The cases of the CT scans covering the human torso (chest and abdomen) increased recently. Such a CT volume can provide the detailed information of human organs for clinical diagnosis. This research focuses on the development of a computer-aided diagnosis system for kidney diagnosis. Kidney regions have a similar CT number distribution with the surrounding tissue regions and have a big variance in the shapes. It is difficult to segment the kidney regions in non-contrast CT images. This research investigates the features of the kidney location, orientation, and shape using 101 CT cases, and discuss the possibility to segment the kidney region based on such features.
