Abstract(in English) This paper presents a computerized classification scheme of pulmonary nodules in contrast enhanced dynamic CT images. Conventionally, we extracted 3-D nodule images by using a deformable surface model. However, there was a limit in segmenting the 3-D nodule images contacted with vessels and bronchi. In order to improve the segmentation accuracy of the 3-D nodule images, we developed a software tool to eliminate the leaked region of the 3-D nodule image due to vessels and bronchi interactively. We demonstrate how the segmentation accuracy affects the classification accuracy of our scheme.
