| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we suggest automatic extraction method of lung blood vessels from X-ray CT image and reducing false positive cancer candidates. First, the ridge area is emphasized by using the Tophat-by-Partial Reconstruction Method which is a kind of the Mathematical Morphology filter. And then, only the blood vessel area has been selectively extracted by using the distance transformation. Finally, if a cancer candidate is on the blood vessel area, the candidate eliminates. This method was applied to the 93 cases. The rate of reduction was 60%. |
