## Abstract This paper describes a method for detecting small nodules from 3D Xβray CT images, considering small nodules with CT values of at least β600 H.U. and diameters of at least 2 mm. The proposed method is largely composed of two stages. In the first stage, for the region obtained by the thr

## Abstract The authors have developed the quoit filter, which is a kind of mathematical morphological filter, for automatic extraction of candidate pathological areas of lung cancer. The method has problems, however, in processing speed or extraction accuracy. To overcome these problems, this pape
We have developed an algorithm that can distinguish the central part of the vertebral body from abdominal X-ray CT images to determine whether it is possible to aid a diagnosis of osteoporosis. We classified three measures for the principal component analysis and linear discriminant function. When w
