In my first year of writing this blog (2006!), I showed how to overlay a color onto an image based on a mask. This was the example I gave back then: I wrote a function called imoverlay to handle all... read more >>

Earlier this year, I learned something about DICOM datasets that surprised me. I had downloaded a Head-Neck CT+PET study, and I wanted to create a volume array in MATLAB. I tried to do this the hard... read more >>

Of all the MATLAB or MathWorks toolbox functions that have been mentioned in this blog since 2006, imshow and imread have appeared the most. As in last week's post, they often appear together,... read more >>
