The article presents an original method of kidney recognition in CT images. Fast and precise visualization of a kidney is a very important task in medical diagnosis of kidney cancer. Calculation of a precise kidney's boundary allows to visualize any changes in the genitourinary system requiring specialist intervention. The method presented in this article uses shape analysis of objects' boundary and calculates geometrical coefficients for final detection. The results of the experiments show that the level of accuracy of automatic kidney boundary detection is 84 % comparing to expert's results.
