Abstract :
In this paper we try to construct the model of stomach wall from stomach X-ray CT images for making the virtualized stomach. We extract the set of control points from CT image and define their deforming factors. These factors consist of the elasticity of stomach wall, the air pressure inside stomach and the pressure given from the organs around the stomach. In results, generation of abstract form of deformed stomach is achieved
