Erosion of the hands and feet is one of the major diagnostic criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, a method to detect erosion using radiographs has not been reported until now. In this paper, we propose a method for the automatic detection of erosion using genetic algorithm from computed radiography (CR) images of the hand. The proposed method adopted for 13 images which obtained CR images of hand, and satisfactory results are obtained.
