| Abstract(in English) | In these years, by aging population and Western-style food, kidney disease patients are increasing. It is difficult for people to recover all of kidney disease, early detection of a kidney disease is needed. But diagnosis of CT images has a fault that is time-consuming and a great labor is required since the quantity of CT images is huge. In this study, we propose a method that automatically extracts a kidney domain as a preprocessing of kidney failure detection. The kidney region is detected by contour information that is extracted from the CT image, by using the dynamic gray scale value refinement method by Q-learning. By using the proposed method, it is possible to detect stably the kidney from any patients. |
