Abstract: Liver Cancer is one of the most difficult cancer to cure and the number of deaths that it causes generally increasing. The signs and the symptoms of the liver cancer are not known, till the cancer is in its advanced stage. So, early detection is the main problem. If it is detected earlier then it can be helpful for the Medical treatment to limit the danger, but it is a challenging task due to the Cancer cell structure. Interpretation of Medical image is often difficult and time consuming, even for the experienced Physicians. Most traditional medical diagnosis systems founded needs huge quantity of training data and takes long processing time. Focused on the solution to these problems, a Medical Diagnosis System based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is presented. This paperdescribes a computer aided diagnosis system for liver cancer that detects the liver tumor at an early stage from the chest CT images. This automation process reduces the time complexity and increases the diagnosis confidence
