Abstract
Acoustic shadows, which are generated by rib bones, make it difficult to obtain proper diagnostic images from the proper viewpoints for medical professionals. To cope with this, we combined separate parts of organ images together by utilizing the contours of the kidney. The contours are extracted by the algorithms which are Snake and Partial Active Shape Model. And we constructed the organ composition model that removes the acoustic shadow. It is confirmed that the composition model could be generated properly by the proposed method.
