Chronic liver disease causes health problem such as hepatic failure or hepatocellular carcinoma. As the disease progresses, some fibroses become apparent, and, as such, influence a vascular structure. We have proposed, previously, a method to extract various vascular features from CTAP images. In this paper we suggested that the method improved in this paper should be applicable to CTAP images of 9 patients. It reveals that the vascular-structure analysis can be useful for estimating liver fibrosis level.
