Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease in human. Under various joints such as knee, hips, hand and wrist. It is the stage of human bone in which the joints of human body become damaged and stop moving freely which causes pain. Due to the increasing prevalence of knee Osteoarthritis and related effects on functional limitation, reduced health related quality of life, health care utilization and total joint arthroplasty, there is a growing need for clinical and scientific tools that can reliably detect knee OA early in its development. The scenario for the evaluation of Osteoarthritis includes clinical examination and various medical imaging techniques. We describe a method to detect Osteoarthritis from knee X-Ray images. The detection is based on the thickness of cartilage in knee bone, which corresponds to possibility of Osteoarthritis. Here we have used active contour segmentation technique to segment the part of the knee X-Ray image. The various features like Haralik, Statistical, First Four Moments, Texture and Shape Features are computed and classified. However, these are based on the presence or size of Osteophytes and the degree of joint space narrowing as assessed by human readers.
