Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a method to automatically extract the ascending aorta, the coronary artery and the left ventricle from the cardiac CT image with the contrast medium. In this method, the outline of the ascending aorta is extracted by Hough transformation and the coronary artery is automatically extracted from the ascending aorta by region expansion method. Furthermore, using the extracted position information of the coronary artery and the region information inside the left ventricle, automatic extraction of the left ventricular boundary was performed. We apply this method to the CT images of 14 cases and confirmed its effectiveness.
