MIPROT: A Medical Image Processing Toolbox for MATLAB

This paper presents a Matlab toolbox to perform basic image processing and visualization tasks, particularly designed for medical image processing. The functionalities available are similar to basic functions found in other non-Matlab widely used libraries such as the Insight Toolkit (ITK). The toolbox is entirely written in native Matlab code, but is fast and flexible. Main use cases for the toolbox are illustrated here, including image input/output, pre-processing, filtering, image registration and visualisation. Both the code and sample data are made publicly available and open source.
