VC is considered a less invasive inspection and reduces diagnosing time. However, because the colon has many folds and its shape is long and convoluted, a physician has to repeatedly change viewpoints and viewing directions many times. We propose a new computer aided diagnosis (CAD)system for the colorectal cancer providing virtual unfolded (VU)views, which enables physicians to observe a large area of the colonic wall at a glance. This system generates VU, virtual endoscopic (VE), and CT slice views that are perfectly synchronized. Polyp candidates, which are detected automatically, are overlaid on them. We implemented the proposed system on a PC platform and observed abdominal CT images. The experimental results showed that the system effectively generates VU views for observing colon regions.}, pages = {103--104}, publisher = {INTELLIGENT MEDIA INTEGRATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY / COE}, title = {DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM FOR COLORECTAL CANCER BASED ON NAVIGATION DIAGNOSIS}, year = {2006} }
