Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have been developing a computer-aided diagnosis system for early detection of arteriolar narrowing on retinal fundus images. Our scheme consists of extraction of blood vessel, classification of artery and vain, recognition of main-stem vessel, and detection of arteriolar narrowing by the artery-vain diameter ratio. Recognition of main-stem vessel is important for improving the performance of the detection. Therefore, we propose recognition method of main-stem vessels based on blood-vessel diameter. Eighty images were used to estimate our scheme. As a result, the sensitivity for detection arteriolar narrowing was 81% with 3.3 false-positive vessels per image. Therefore, the technique we proposed in this study may be useful for detection of arteriolar narrowing.
