An apparatus and method for analyzing the morphometry of a human hip joint is provided. The apparatus includes image receiving means for receiving a digital image of a hip joint and image analysis means, including an Active Shape Model configured to identify a set of landmark points on the image, wherein the set of points includes points which correspond to features of the proximal femur and the region of the pelvis forming the acetabulum. The ASM is further configured to generate an image data-set from the co-ordinates of the landmark points; and data comparison means for comparing the image data-set with one or more comparative data-sets to obtain value(s) for one or more output modes which characterize the variation of the image data-set from the comparative data-set(s), to provide an indication of the presence and/or severity of osteoarthritis in the hip and/or the risk of the hip joint developing osteoarthritis.
