Video length is 1:56

Capabilities, Documentation, and Examples

Medical imaging is a field of medicine that includes various techniques to image, visualize, and analyze the interior of humans and animals. This enables physicians to visualize organs, bones, cells, and various physiological processes and diagnose, monitor, and treat medical conditions. Images are generated using various radiological modalities such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT, MRI and nuclear imaging, and using microscopes for pathology.

Importing Medical Imaging Data

Read and modify medical image data and metadata from specialized medical file formats, such as DICOM, NIfTI, and NRRD, stored locally, in cloud locations, or on PACS servers.

Visualizing 2D Images and 3D Volumes

Use interactive tools to visualize 2D and 3D medical imaging data. Generate and render 3D surfaces and volumes.

Ground Truth Labeling

Use the Medical Image Labeler app to interactively label ground truth data, semi-automate or automate the labeling process, use custom algorithms or deep learning techniques such as MedSAM and MONAI Label, and export labeled data for AI workflows.

Preprocessing and Augmentation

Improve image quality using preprocessing techniques and improve the effectiveness of deep learning networks using augmentation to expand the training dataset.

Medical Image Registration

Compare and align multimodal medical images, volumes, or surfaces in a common coordinate system using the Medical Registration Estimator app and dedicated functions.

Segmentation

Segment 2D images or 3D volumes into regions such as bones, tumors, or organs using traditional, or deep learning techniques such as MedSAM, and evaluate the accuracy of the regions.

Analysis

Analyze medical imaging data using techniques such as radiomics and high level feature descriptors.

Interface for MONAI Library

Segment and label organs and bones in medical images using the Medical Imaging Toolbox Interface for MONAI Library support package integration into the Medical Image Labeler app.

“With Medical Imaging Toolbox, we can load the entire data set and create the three-dimensional rendering with just a few clicks. Having this functionality and the capability to export data is important: It means we don’t start from scratch for each new design. We can rely on something we know works that is standard. This saves weeks for each new design.”
