Abstract
The stomach contour can be automatically and accurately extracted from the characteristics of X-ray images. The approximate stomach is obtained from the combination image which is constructed from a binary version of the original image and its differential image. The stomach contour is extracted using the brightness of the differential image and the shape of stomach approximation
