Abstract(in English) In the diagnosis of thrombosis with no specific clinic symptoms, diagnostic imaging plays an important role. Particularly, contrast Enhanced CT image is low invasive diagnostics. Thrombus in the pulmonary artery can be detected using a low density without the contrast effect. Moreover, because describing the change of concentration in lung field and the decline in lung blood vessel shadow is also possible, it is indispensable to diagnose thrombosis. Using image diagnosis, it is necessary to classify the pulmonary artery and vein that relate to the thrombosis, and to analyze the lung blood vessel quantitatively. In this study, we analyzed the structure by using the extracted pulmonary artery through semi-automated method, measuring the pulmonary trunk and the main pulmonary artery diameter. We examined detection of pulmonary embolism by comparing pulmonary embolism cases (include chronic and acute cases) with normal cases.
