In this paper morphological characteristic parameters according to the Lee's physical constitution theory are extracted using X-ray computed tomography, which is classified into 4 physical constitutional types by the relative degree of visceral function; those are macronegative(strong liver-weak lung), micro-negative(strong kidney-weak spleen), micropositive(strong spleen-weak kidney)and macro-positive(strong lung-weak liver). Algorithm for the morphological identification of the Lee's physical constitution using X-ray computed tomography is proposed. This algorithm uses 5 morphological characteristic parameters of the thorax and the abdomen. The morphological characteristic parameters are the following. The AA-line is the distance between Rt. and Lt. acupunture point keki-cheun. The BB-line is the length of lung. The CC-line is the longest width of thorax. The DD-line is the vertical distance between CC-line and EE-line. The EE-line is the distance between Rt. and Lt. anterior superior iliac spines. The 12 teaching patterns were perfectly identified their physical constitutional types by this algorithm.
