NASA software has been incorporated into a new medical imaging device that could one day aid in the interpretation of mammograms, ultrasounds, and other medical imagery. The new MED-SEG system, developed by Bartron Medical Imaging LLC, a small Connecticut-based company with satellite offices in Maryland, relies on an innovative software program developed at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. This software was originally designed to analyze imagery of Earth, but soon will be doing much more.

3D would be very good.

Interpolating multiple images (to create a 3D dateset) would greatly reduce noise - and noise seems to be a problem with this software, which to my mind just seems like a visual version of an audio amplifier (complete with noise problems).

nice...image processing can be so useful in so many walks of life...integration of so many algorithms together..brilliant..Is this technology or software based on matlab??
