Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a method for detecting hemangioma from four-phases contrasted 3D abdominal CT images.
In our method, candidate regions of the liver hemangioma are detected from a portal phase CT image.
The candidate regions of the liver hemangioma are obtained by classifying voxels based on the posterior probability of each voxel in a liver region.
Since false positives of detection results usually include blood vessel regions, we remove the blood vessel regions in the liver from the candidate regions.
Then, we calculate a feature value vector at each voxel in the candidate regions.
Feature value vectors are calculated by using various filters such as median, gaussian, and blob enhancement filters.
A category of each feature value vector is determined by a multi-class classifier.
Finally, we obtain regions whose category is classified as the liver hemangioma.
We apply this method to 15 cases of abdominal CT images.
Recall rates of the segmentation accuracy and the number of False Positives were 83.3% and 15.4 per case, respectively.
