Abstract(in English) With the rapid progress of CT technology, peripheral vessels in organs can be visualized on CT images. For liver operation, it is important to grasp paths of portal and vein vessels, and position relationships with tumors in advance. However, it is difficult to distinguish portal vessels form vein. The reasons are that, in some cases, they have almost the same CT value and cross each other. In this paper, we propose a graph theory based method to solve the difficulties. Experimental results show that our method works well.
