Mathematica includes thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:

• Design software programs to do edge-preserving smoothing, denoising, sharpening, and other enhancements
• Create pattern-recognition algorithms for computer-aided diagnosis or tumor detection
• Develop and simulate radio-frequency pulse sequences
• Scan cell samples for abnormalities
• Study videos of runners to improve the efficiency of their movements
• Deblur CT slices and remove inhomogeneities from MRI backgrounds
• Capture and process images from imaging devices in real time
• Analyze fiber orientation in lab-grown tissue to determine its strength
• Use noninvasive techniques to study the heart, reducing risk to the patient
• Deploy web applications for remote diagnosis

Does your current tool set have these advantages?

• Complete, integrated image processing workflow in a single document
  Matlab requires purchasing extra toolboxes for image processing and opening multiple windows to work with multiple images
• Extensive built-in image processing functions on any platform
  ImageJ requires downloading and installing plug-ins created by varied sources for full functionality; OsiriX is only available for Mac operating systems
• Procedural, functional, and rule-based programming paradigms, plus easily recognizable function names, create an efficient programming environment
  Matlab and other programs use primarily procedural languages, creating longer code, and use abbreviated function names that provide no intuitive indication of their meaning
• Conveniently drag and drop images directly into the input line to apply image processing functions
  Unique to Mathematica
• Integrated environment for interactive visual workflow
  C, C++, and other languages require you to switch between a graphical window and text input to visualize and process images
