Absolutely. Although there are existing software for medical imaging, nothing will give you so much direct experimentation and flexibility as you can do in J. In medical imaging they take raster scans and enhance certain aspects to view the necessary details, using image filters and transformations. Images are just numerical matrices with J as their natural habitat. For example, the article Smoothing Filters by Cliff Reiter http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~reiterc/abstracts/ci_2004d.html (the Preprint contains the actual text) shows filters to enhance features of a snowflake image. There is the ImageJ program for Java, which has a very simple idea acting as a host for plugins and filters. I have seen many mediacal imaging plugins and also separate ImageJ based applications for medical imaging. I believe there should be the same program in J, which in addition will provide direct experimentation by entering expressions on images as you see them, in the same way as viewmat and plot.
