Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have proposed an ultrasound breast imaging system by developing a mechanical scanner having a manipulator which holds an ultrasound probe attached to a usual ultrasonic diagnosis device and rotates it around a nipple. This system enables a stable image collection with a systematic manner and an image showing for doctor’s effective reviews. Although a confirmation by human’s eyes is effective to generate the images to be reviewed, it is inappropriate for a mass examination, because it is a time-consuming job. In this study, we propose an automatic method using an image processing for the image generation. This method utilizes a smoothness of the breasts surface for a reduction of a computational cost and an image generation error. The results for actual breast images are shown to indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
