Analysis and Applications

Analyze segmented images, generate surfaces for medical imaging applications

Analyze preprocessed and segmented images to obtain quantitative information about the health of a patient. You can perform custom analyses by using functions for image arithmetic and calculating region properties, or perform state-of-the-art Radiomics analysis. Use analyzed images for applications such as research, 3-D printing, and finite element analysis.
