In this paper, a syntactic method of pattern recognition is applied to hand radiographs interpretation, in order to recognize erosions and osteophytes in the finger joints. It is shown that, the classical Jakubowski transducer does not distinguish contours of healthy bones from contours of affected bones. Therefore, the modifications of the transducer are introduced. It is demonstrated, that the modified transducer correctly recognizes the classes of bone shapes obtained based on the medical classification: healthy bone class, erosion bone class and osteophyte bone class. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
