Dear all:

Greetings,

I'm asking this question to look for experts' advice for our thesis. We are looking to study x-ray images of human hands with and without osteoarthritis, and use geometric morphometrics as a tool in trying to find something new out of it (i.e. possibly quantify the differences between the severity levels of osteoarthritis based on the alterations in the bone/joint structure). In line with this, we would want to hear your thoughts regarding what specific bones/joints are best to focus on in carrying out the study. Your answer/idea regarding this matter would be much appreciated.

Thank you and God bless!
