Arteriosclerosis obliterans is one of the diseases caused by arteriosclerosis. This disease mainly causes the chronic deterioration of the blood stream by the arteriosclerosis phenomenon of aorta abdominals and artery of lower limb. Especially, the one originates in hands and feet peripheral arterial called arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). In the field of image diagnosis for the ASO, the description method of the blood vessel structure on 3D is developed. Also the diagnosis of the ASO using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment without contrast medium is applied as a useful visual screening on medical field. In this paper, we propose a new method for detection of blood vessels which is obtained based on fresh blood imaging method by use of 3D region growing methods and satisfactory results are obtained.
