Abstract(in English) In this article, we propose a method for tumor detection in PET/CT images with observing of whole image each organ. We have proposed a method that detects bright blobs in a PET image as tumors. method failed to detect some tumors that are not so bright blobs but show some abnormal pattern in PET images. Hence, in this reserch, we propose a method that uses a model of the brightness of each organ in PET images. This article shows results of the proposed method and discusses the performance.
