Abstract :
Arthritis is the most common inflammation and this progressive disease often leads to early disability and joint deformities. By the early diagnosis and treatment of the arthritis, the damage to the joins can be reduced. A number of therapeutic approaches are now widely available for the diagnosis of this disease. Imaging of the affected joints plays a vital role in the analysis. This paper discusses the analysis of such images by using a image segmentation algorithms.
