Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper presents a method for extracting bronchus regions from 3D chest CT images that uses a combination of region growing, and voxel
classification based on and machine learning methods. Most of previous methods focus on tracing the bronchial tree by region growing algorithms, it always fails to trace the tree when the abnormal appears to interrupt
such as lung tumors. Our method is mainly based on detecting the candidate voxels which have the bronchial features and implementing the SVM method to select the appropriate candidates. First, we combined two types of tube enhancement filters to detect the candidate region having line structures based on the Hessian analysis, and a modified RRF(Radial Reach Filter).
Second, we calculate bronchial features derived from both image intensity and shape. At last, we classify the candidate voxels by a classifier which is trained by the SVM using the training dataset. We applied the proposed method to four cases of 3D chest CT images and showed that it could extract the bronchial tree more accuracy than the previous method.
