Analyses of medical images using Image processing

Image processing is any form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as photographs or frames of video; the output of image processing can be either an image or a set of characteristics or parameters related to the medical images. Most image-processing techniques involve treating the image as a two-dimensional signal and applying standard signal-processing techniques to it. Image processing usually refers to digital image processing, but optical and analog image processing are also possible. There are several ways to import or export images into and out of the MATLAB environment for processing. You can use Image Acquisition Toolbox to acquire live images from Web cameras, frame grabbers, DCAM-compatible cameras, and other devices. Using Database Toolbox, you can access images stored in ODBC/JDBC-compliant databases. These analyses of medical images would figure out any disorders in patient’s body.
