Computer aided erosions and osteophytes detection based on hand radiographs
We introduce a new algorithm of local segmentation based on a region growing. We define a new shape description language for syntactic pattern recognition. We present a multi-stage algorithm, which expands on those created so far. We designed, implemented and tested an automatic computer system which detects erosions and osteophytes (the system operator has to only load the image and mark the area of the analysis).
