In this paper, the next stage of out studies concerning the computer analysis of hand X-ray digital images is described. An algorithm identifying the borders of the upper and lower joint surfaces on hand radiographs is proposed. It is based on local segmentation and profile plots analysis. The described algorithm achieved high efficiency - mean distance distribution signature for complete borders was equal to 0.118
mm
. Therefore, it can be applied both to trace development of hand joints diseases and analysis of bone contour shapes using syntactic methods.
