 note = {Liver cirrhosis is a diagnosis based on histological concept. However, liver biopsy, sampling liver tissues from a living donor, is an invasive technique, in which a direct puncture of the liver is necessary. On the other hand, a higher resolution of a recent computed tomography has a potential to replace histology with objective and digital images, which are available without any invasive techniques. Here we present a system extracting various features of three-dimensional vasculature in the liver from images of CT aiming an objective and noninvasive diagnosis of liver cirrhosis.},
